Economic and Financial CrimesCommission (EFCC), on Sunday, said it arrested two additional dollar couriers at the Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano State.

The commission, in a statement said, "the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Wednesday, October 17, arrested the duo of Idris Hamza and Umar Kibiya at the Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, for false declaration of fund and illegal possession of $107,000.

"Only a fortnight ago, Thursday, 27 September, Abubakar Tijjani was intercepted by the EFCC with $7,049.444 at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.

"Hamza, who was caught with $27,000.00, claimed that he was a student and was en-route to Egypt, while Kibiya, who had $80,000 concealed in his bag, said he was on a business trip to Dubai.

"While Hamza only declared $3,000, Kibiya declared $40,000. The suspects were, however, unlucky when they got to the EFCC final check point at the airport.

"The suspects, who have given useful information, will be charged to court soon. They will be docked under Section 12 of the Foreign Exchange (Monitoring and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act Cap.F34 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 and Section 2(5) of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act 2011.

"Tijjani, 25, had, at the point of arrest, also declared that he had a total sum of $4.5 million on him, but thorough screening revealed that he was actually carrying $7,049,444. He confessed that he was a courier for 20 people to convey the money to Dubai.

"Tijjani's arraignment at the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos State, on Friday, October 19, was stalled because the judge, Justice C.J Aneke, was bereaved. Tijani will now be arraigned on Tuesday."
