An anonymous whistle blower in the CBN has disclosed to Abuja Network News how Dino Melaye and some heavyweight PDP stalwarts smuggled a whooping N50b out of the CBN using special utility vehicles to ferry the cash to an undisclosed location in Abuja under the cover of the night.
The whistle blower said the exercise was conducted over a period of three days under strict instructions and surveillance by a popular director in the bank who is known be sympathetic to the PDP.

In similar vein earlier today President Buhari laments the insincerity of the banks in disbursing the newly redesigned notes which led to scarcity of cash and has paralysed economic activities across the country.
The president promises to use the remaining seven days of the extension by the CBN to crackdown on saboteurs and corrupt elements in the banking system disrupting the speedy implementation of the policy.
