NIGERIA – One day before elections, Nigerian politician Chinyere Igwe was arrested for alleged money laundering after being caught with over $498,000 dollars in cash.
Police say they found the piles of U.S. dollars inside Igwe’s car.
The opposition PDP member of the House of Representatives, was also caught with a list of people to give the money to, police say.
