The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Thursday, disclosed that it would dock a man, Abubakar Sheriff Tijjani, caught with $7 million cash at the Murtala Mohammed Airport, today.

A statement from the commission stated that "the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will, on Friday, October 19, arraign Abubakar Sheriff Tijjani, a bulk cash smuggler intercepted with $7,049.444 at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos on Thursday, 27 September, 2012, by Operatives of the commission, on his way to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

"He will be arraigned at a Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos.”

When the 25 year-old suspect was arrested, he declared that he had a total sum of $4.5million on him but thorough screening and search showed that he was actually carrying $7,049,444.

He confessed that he was a courier for twenty individuals who hired him to convey the money to Dubai.

dhappyking: If am not mistaken, the guy must be one of the couriers used by the Nigerian guys to move cash from here to Dubai for their business. For reasons best know to them, they prefer this mode of 'transfer' to the regular bank transfers done through the financial institutions. So I really doubt if it has much, if anything to do with the looting of public funds. His offence here may be in two parts. Having so much cash on him and not declaring the full amount.

tpia@:
the ones making noise in religion section are always silent on threads like these.

they pretend they're unaware.

all4naija: So, this man hasn't confessed about the boss he works for? They should not only jail him but carry out subsequent follow up on how to get the boss arrested. I can't wait to see this kind of human being suffers in jail for the rest of his life!
