2 Passengers Arrested With Over $2M At MMIA, Lagos by Nobody: 11:42pm On Nov 25, 2012 |
The Airport Committee Special Task Force at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Lagos at the weekend arrested two suspected passengers with three bags of money containing $2,073,160 and 20,300 Saudi Arabian Riyal (SAR) at the “E” wing departure area of the airport. The suspects who were identified as Mr. Talal Hammoud with passport number A03599105 and Mr. Hassan Rmaiti, a Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN worker with duty card number 25009 and the three bags of money, were handed over to the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, by the Airport Committee Special Task Force for not declaring the currencies to officers on duty at the airport. Speaking on the arrest, the Nigeria Customs Service Area Controller at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Command Lagos, Mr. Eporwei Edike Charles said, the suspects and the three bags of money have been handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for further investigation and necessary action against the suspects. According to Charles, the suspects violated regulations of government by attempting to smuggle such amount of money out of the country without declaring the currencies to Nigeria Custom’s currency desk officers on duty. He, however, explained that the Airport Committee Special Task Force operating at the airport, comprises of all security agencies including, the EFCC, the State Security Service, SSS; the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA; the Nigeria Immigration Services, NIS, and other security agencies working at the airport. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/11/2-suspected-air-passengers-arrested-with-us2073160-at-lagos/ |

hollandis: There is nothing wrong in carrying a huge amount .Nigerians don't know they have to declare the money.Many Nigerians are illiterates they dont know they have to declare the money.NIGERIA IS A USELESS COUNTRY That's not completely true. Yes you must declare the money but u must show proof that it came from legal means. The sad fact is that if many r brazen enough 2 try 2 do this and get caught, it means that many have smuggled money out successfully in the pas. 1 Like |

This would probably have been goin on for a long time but we're just finding out in d news b'cos mayb d Airport officials upped their stakes and somone refused to settle. This is obviously a Northern politician's money laundering route. |

Its like the banks are getting greedier and charging them higher percentage to help them launder the ill gotten wealth abroad and so they have decided to take their faith into their own hands. Let the looking continue. |

something is actually happening at the airport which custom nor efcc has refused to say. even when you declare the money, they still question your type of business. bunch of morons...... they should stop discouraging business men who travel for business abeg |

hollandis: There is nothing wrong in carrying a huge amount .Nigerians don't know they have to declare the money.Many Nigerians are illiterates they dont know they have to declare the money.NIGERIA IS A USELESS COUNTRY And you have just written very foolishly. You talk about declaration of amounts in excess of 10k USD,do you know it is also required you state the source of such monies and if the Immigration officials are not satisfied with your explanation,they will impound and report to other autorities who will investigate before letting you go or otherwise? Did it ever occur to your irrational brain that the reason these fellas don't declare is cos the funds are most likely PROCEEDS OF CRIME 1 Like |
