The SCUML is a unit of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that supervises Designated Non‑Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) to ensure compliance with anti‑money laundering, counter‑financing of terrorism, and related regulations.
The companies, Iman Multi Structures Ltd and Daraja Motors, were sealed by the EFCC  unit for non-compliance with the provisions of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022 and the EFCC AML/CFT/CPF Regulations, 2024.

Both entities had previously been sanctioned and fined for regulatory breaches; Iman Multi Structures Ltd on June 18, 2025, and Daraja Motors on August 13, 2025. However, they failed to comply with the payment directives issued by the government.

An investigation conducted by SCUML’s Zonal Coordinator, Ahmadu Bello, revealed that the deadline for payment expired more than a month ago, with no remedial action taken by the affected organisations.

Accordingly, their premises have been sealed and will remain so until full compliance with all applicable regulations is achieved.
