Three days ago I posted a story of a young lady Maryam Temitope Kazeem who was alleged to have stolen 60,000usd from a certain Alhaji Adam in Dubai anyways I spoke to Miss Maryam and she told me exactly what transpired between herself and the said Alhaji Adam. Her interview below

1. May we know you?

My name is Maryam I am based here in Lagos

2. Tell us your relationship with Adam?

Alhaji Adam is my agent in Dubai that secures my visa whenever I want to travel to Dubai my mum has a shop here in Lagos she doesn’t travel any more so I do the travelling for her.

3. Can you tell us how you got involved in this 60,00usd saga?

First of all I want to make it clear that I did not steal any money not to talk of 60,000usd. Alhaji Adam is my agent who has a business here in Lagos one day he called me to help him bring N70m (400,000usd) which I obliged him and I took the money to him in Dubai .

4. I want to be clear here Miriam are you saying you actually took $400,000 to Dubai for your travel agent, haven’t you heard of money laundering?

Yes I did take the money to him, honestly I have never heard or known about money laundering until he gave me another 300,00usd to bring to Dubai for him the second time, I now showed the money to somebody saying this is the second time my agent is giving me such amount to bring to him that was when the person explained to me that I took a very big risk travelling with such an amount of money without declaring it and that the money was fake and that I should give him back his money to give to his family to bring to him, when I called him and told him I cannot bring the money to him he got angry saying he will deal with me. So l told him that he used me as a courier the first time he cannot use me again that he took advantage of me because he knows I am not an experienced in these kind of thing.
