Nigeria Customs Service have impounded ten luxury vehicles belonging to E-Money.

The newly imported cars belonging to the billionaire music promoter, E-Money, were seized by the Federal Operations Unit (FOU) Zone ‘A’ of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS ), over under-payment of duty on the vehicles. According to Vanguard, the vehicles, said to have been cleared by officers and men of Apapa Customs Command, were intercepted by officials of FOU, following a tip-off about the value of duty paid on them.

An insider at the FOU disclosed that E-Money had visited the Unit to try and take back custody of the vehicles, but that FOU leadership had insisted on complete payment of duty before the vehicles can be released to him. “We have released the vehicles to him. He came and paid over N6 million. I think about N6.7 million or thereabouts,” Customs Area Controller (CAC) Garba Mohammed confirms. Emeka Okonkwo aka E-Money who is the younger brother of singer Kcee is Five Star music boss and a music promoter. His business stretches from real estate to the music industry.
