Its a shame that Jacob Zuma led government is at us again. Even at that, I believe that this form of transactions have been going on between both countries even before GEJ administration.
The question is why now? And 1 of the many answers is simply that Nigeria's economy have taken over South African economy in d world center stage. Therefore they are working out seriously to rubbish us.

Our authorities should sit up. Who can guarantee that South African coys here don't do shit?

I don't get it, is it that reading is now too difficult or understanding a mirage? Even mynd44 a supposed mod and some supposed intellectuals that don't miss the opportunity to call a sitting president names can move on this lane.
Jezz! You lot need to read the article again and slowly this time.

Funny most commentators just read first two comments and make conclusions.

Let me help out here:


TheIndustrialist:
South African authorities have seized
another US$5.7 million arms money
from Nigeria, just three weeks after the
$9.3 million cash transported by two
Nigerians and an Israeli for arms
purchase, South Africa-based City
Express reported Monday.
.
As with the first deal, South Africa’s
Asset Forfeiture Unit of the National
Prosecuting Authority seized the $5.7
million (about N952 million) for
allegedly being the proceeds of illegal
transactions, the paper said.
The news came more than two weeks
after two Nigerians and an Israeli
national were arrested in South Africa
after they attempted to smuggle US$9.3
million apparently meant for buying
arms for the Nigerian intelligence
service.
.
The men landed at Lanseria
International Airport, Johannesburg, on
September 5 in a private jet from Abuja
with the money stashed in three
suitcases.
At the time, the South Africa Revenue
Service, SARS, said customs officers
became suspicious when the
passengers’ luggage were unloaded and
put through the scanners.
.
The National Prosecuting Authority,
NPA, in South Africa said there was an
invoice for helicopters and armaments
intended to be used in Nigeria.
Two black plastic suitcases, filled with
90 blocks each containing US$100,000
in notes, with combination locks, were
seized, as well as two pieces of hand
luggage also containing US currency,
according to City Press.
The Israeli national, Eyal Mesika, had
the combination to open the locks.
Under South African laws, a person
entering or leaving the country is
expected to carry cash not exceeding
US$2,300, or the equivalent in foreign
currency notes.
.


The South African newspaper, City
Press, said documents in its possession
show that the first consignment was
personally signed off by the National
Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, who
issued the end-user certificate for the
transaction.

An entire “shopping list” was supplied
with the certificate, which included
everything from helicopters to
unmanned aircraft, rockets and
ammunition, it said.

[b][color=#990000]The latest transaction, according to the
paper, was between Cerberus Risk
Solutions, an arms broker in Cape
Town, and Societe D’Equipments
Internationaux, said to be a Nigerian
company based in Abuja.

The paper said the deal fell apart after
Cerberus which had earlier received
from Nigeria R60 million (N1.02 billion)
in its account at Standard Bank, tried to
repay the money as it it could not
resolve its registration formalities with
the South African authorities.
“Cerberus was previously registered as
a broker with the National Conventional
Arms Control Committee (NCACC), but
the registration expired in May this
year,” City Press said.

“The marketing and contracting permits
also expired at the same time. The
company has since applied for re-
registration, but the application lay in
the NCACC’s mailbox for more than two
months.


“Sources told Rapport that Cerberus
apparently tried to pay the money back
to the Nigerian company, after which
the bank became suspicious,” the paper
reported.[/b][/color]

The paper added that while the NPA’s
Asset Forfeiture Unit subsequently
obtained a court order in the South
Gauteng High Court to seize the money,
the NPA spokesperson Nathi Mncube,
said there were no indications the two
transactions were related.
“However, both are now the subject of a
criminal investigation and all possible
information and connections are being
investigated,” Mr. Mncube was quoted
as saying.

There is a huge difference between the first deal which Dasuki issued a certificate and "shopping list" for and which involved two Nigerians and an Isreali which they carried cash into the SA and this deal in which the money was paid to the SA company Cerberus RiskSolutions, an arms broker in Cape Town, money was wired into their Standard Bank account by Societe D’Equipments Internationaux, said to be a Nigerian company based in Abuja.

The arm dealer had a problem with the renewal of licence according to the paper "The paper said the deal fell apart afterCerberus which had earlier received from Nigeria R60 million (N1.02 billion) in its account at Standard Bank, tried to repay the money as it it could not resolve its registration formalities with the South African authorities. “Cerberus was previously registered as a broker with the National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC), but the registration expired in May this year,” City Press said


Its a shame that even a mod would get involved in this spread of falsehood.

I think the probability of GEJ, Doyin okupe, NOI and other hidden members of the Mo'theft crew ending up in jail after leaving office in 2015 hovers between 0.8 and 0.9

So, because you're corrupt in your country and allow foreigners to commit all kinds of shady deals in Nigeria you feel others should reciprocate by being ignorant, dumb and corrupt also by allowing you do same on their home soil?
