Professor Arrested With $1 Million At Lagos Airport by draogtech: 4:25pm On Feb 21, 2013
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Muritala Muhammed Airport Command intercepted a Nigerian professor carrying $1 million on his way to Kenya, an official said on Wednesday.

The Customs Area Comptroller at the airport, Charles Edike, told newsmen in Lagos that the professor had been handed to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for further investigations.

He said that although the professor declared the money to customs officers at the airport, “the source of the money was not clear.

“He claimed to be the director of a company, A-Z Petroleum. He said he was carrying the money to Kenya to settle a dispute with a community over oil blocks.

“We were not comfortable with what he said, we have handed him over to the EFCC,” Mr. Edike said. He did not give the name of the professor.

He also said that the command intercepted $12 million from 14 persons in 2012, adding that “all the 14 persons have been handed to the EFCC for prosecution.”

Mr. Edike said the command generated N35 billion in 2012 as against N34 billion in 2011.

“Although we had more cargos in 2011, we generated more revenue in 2012,” he said. “This was based on our insistence that every waybill must be accounted for.”

What is this country turning to. You can imagine an academician stealing such amounts of money.
Is this what is teaching his student in the class? God will help us in this country. He must be punished.

Its possible. Sorting and Handouts generate more than that annually. In my days, a lecture was fired for receiving 40k per student to give them a C and 50k for a B, and that was like 10 yrs ago. Pass forward to 2013.

how fast should you conclude he stole the money? & if he did, he should be a bold thief for declaring the money. Can you be as bold?

rubbish, rubbish, rubbish!!!! what has the prof done wrong, what was his crime, when does owning money, and declaring it before travelling out become a crime? on what ground /suspicion are they detaining him? maybe the custom should then start arresting politicians e.g. gej who suddenly became billionaire overnight after getting to political office with no obvious source of income, because frankly, they can not account for their billions too

This could be a scheme to bring everyone's attention to an otherwise sedentary parastatal (Customs). ... and people are quick at condemning the academia even when the article gives no tangible detail about the identity of this so called Prof.

160 million Naira is just 50,000 naira in 3,200 places. Each Department in my school had average of 1000 students, add that number to students in all departments in the Faculty who offer a lecturer;s course as elective, we are talking of average of 4,000 students, seriously $1m is a tiny sum if you want to expose the rot in the system, we have not added the money generated from sales of hand out yet.

Prof: This money is meant for settling oil block rifts in Kenya.
EFCC: It's a white lie. Where did you get this huge amount of money? Talk now before you lose one eye!
Prof: Erm erm I also sell handouts & do some sortings.
EFCC: You are charged with money laundering, extortion of students & other unmentionable university crimes.
Prof: This is lugubrious, abysmal, ridiculous, outrageous. It's a dent to my bonafide human right. Get my lawyer pls...

What do you want me to say, the man declared how much he carried, but I wonder why he had to travel with cash when he can readily use telegraphic wire.
