A39-year-old South African, Nosisi Nqgula, has been arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for allegedly smuggling foreign currencies worth about N710.7m to Nigeria.

It was learnt that the suspect was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos with $373,725 and €2,120 concealed inside packs of oats.

PUNCH Metro gathered that the discovery was made during an inward screening of passengers on a South African airline flight enroute from Johannesburg.

The agency said two Nigerians ─ Damian Akamelu and Prophet Cyprian Chigere ─ were also being interrogated in connection with the seizure.
Nqgula said she was sent by a Nigerian to deliver the money to one Akamelu. “I live in Johannesburg. I was given a bag by a Nigerian to deliver to Damian Akamelu,”she said.

The NDLEA Commander at the airport, Mr. Hamza Umar, said, “The mode of concealment presents reasonable grounds for money laundering.
"Five packs of oats were found to contain $373,725 and €2,120. Two Nigerians are also being interrogated.” The NDLEA Chairman, Ahmadu Giade, commended the officers for the seizure.

I lost my comment after reading...

bro thank me later i found it "she's a thief"

Na settlement go still end d matter. No b Naija again? Anyway I still believe any financial crime in Nigeria should be punished by the government seizing all if the persons property and collecting at least 70% if the stolen funds. That will always serve as a deterrent as it won't b worth d stress anymore.

oh my ghooooost !

710.10 million

just 10 percent of that will change my life forever.

Sorry ma'am, now you'll go to gaol.

Change is here.

1. People are not even scared to carry money about these days, this is money laundering, Well if a country as big as Nigeria can practise it, then whats the big deal if a South African woman does that? This is where we find ourselve as a nation. That woman cant be jailed. Because when Nigeria did this illegal act South Africa forgave them and returned the money, i see the same thing happening here.

2. NDLEA, NDLEA is is drugs they ask you people to be looking for not hidden money LOL? Congratulations to our gallent security forces for exposing this act

3. Nigerians its high time we imbibe the spirit of doing the right and legal things, there are lots of good people in Nigeria it hurts me when some folks just try to spoil our precious name

nawa
