The workshop which was themed: “Anti-money Laundering Guidelines: A Practical Approach for Legal Profession,” is aimed at building a productive relationship between the NBA and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in fighting corruption, terrorism financing, and other fraud-related matters.
Shotande also urged lawyers to be wary of helping politically exposed persons in concealing their crimes, while calling for collaboration between the NBA, NFIU, and the EFCC.
Al-Ittihad striker, Karim Benzema, is ready to end his stay in the Saudi Pro League. According to the Frenchman, he is not satisfied with the quality of the facilities and a perceived lack of professionalism including the constant harassment from supporters.
