Ugandan Businessman Arrested with 105,000 USD in Nimule
A Ugandan national is being held by South Sudanese security authorities
at the border town of Nimule in Eastern Equatoria State, for carrying 105,000
United States dollars in cash and allegedly operating a money transfer business
illegally.
“It was five days ago back when a Ugandan working in the field of money
changing and mobile money transfer was arrested,” Colonel John Achiek, the
immigration chief at Nimule border told reporters on Tuesday.
“The money was taken by the economic affairs officers who are working
with security, they are the ones now in charge of the case. He is a Ugandan, I
don’t know his name but of course, security has taken him. For us, we are just
working with the people, they say it is 100,000 dollars, but I don’t know how
much money exactly,” he added.
