The Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering (SCUML) sealed the premises of two Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs), Iman Multi Structures Ltd and Daraja Motors on Monday, September 29, 2025.
SCUML accused them of failing to comply with the provisions of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, and the EFCC AML/CFT/CPF Regulations, 2024.
According to a statement by the EFCC via its official X account on Monday, both firms had earlier been sanctioned and fined on June 18, 2025, and August 13, 2025, respectively, for regulatory violations but failed to remit the fines to the government.
According to investigations by SCUML’s Zonal Coordinator, Assistant Commander of the EFCC (ACE) Ahmadu Bello, the deadline given to the companies to pay the fines expired over a month ago.
SCUML stated that the sealed premises will remain closed until the affected firms comply with the extant anti-money laundering regulations.
