Ethiopia Begins Seizure Of Undeclared Currencies By Transiting Nigerians by ijustdey: 6:47am On Jul 01, 2019
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned all Nigerian travellers that the Ethiopian Customs and Revenue Authority (ECRA) has stepped up its seizure of foreign currencies and valuables in excess of $3 000 (three thousand US Dollars) from passengers transiting Ethiopia without prior declaration of such valuables.

The rule on the forfeiture of undeclared valuables applies to all passengers travelling to Ethiopia or transiting, including the prosecution of offenders of money laundering in line with Ethiopian Laws.

In a press release signed by Friday Akpan, the Ministry ha, therefore, implored all prospective Nigerian travellers to take note of the development and adhere strictly to avoid undue embarrassment at the airport.

The statement, however, added that the Embassy of Nigeria in Addis Ababa is engaging the Ethiopian authorities to secure the release of undeclared monies seized from Nigerians.

If one is transiting a country and is not filling a customs declaration form, then they have no right to seize the funds.
Why should they even seize a transiting passenger's funds?

She Died ...
Her family searched for the picture they will use as her obituary picture..All the pictures on her phone were the ones she was either smoking shisha, bending legs, stretching mouth, carrying flower on her head and the ones her face was looking like domestic animals Like​ Dog & cat.
So they used her mothers picture for the obituary and wrote:
"The daughter of this woman is dead"

Lol, you people with unreasonable comments.

Many Nigerians fly to Ethiopia. And others who go to Kenya have stops in Ethiopia.
