According to him, the commission’s raid on Bureau De Change operators would be sustained until the old Naira notes fade away.
He urged Nigerians to support the system, for the benefit of all, stressing that any cash transaction beyond five million Naira is a crime.

“Already, some State governors have some of this cash stashed in various houses and the rest are now trying to pay salaries in cash in their State.

“I don’t know how they want to achieve that but we have to stop them from doing that. Well, we are working, they have not paid the salaries in cash yet but it is a very serious thing,” he said.

The move by the governors to launder stashed money through a cash payment of salaries is against section 2 of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act.
