It's a way of stealing the money,they sure know the case will be serious if they call them drug traffickers
you might be right,


even looking at how the money were packaged suggests they're from different sources(I might be wrong on this though)

What nonsense!

Why arresting them now?
No drug was found on them and u are tagging them as drug peddlers.

This is just 1% of what our politicians launder on a regular basis.

meanwhile the Name Checker s group will be dumbfounded as these guys bear English names aside 'Edos' .

I agree with you 100%, but this guys should have done themselves good service by declaring the cash at the point of entry instead of hiding it

They have taken a big risk. That money is liable to be seized simply because they did not declare it that is the law. I remember a Nigerian had his money seized in the US for similar reasons and on that occasion he was even travelling with the Presidential entourage of Obasanjo.. If they have nothing to hide they should have declared it. These days it is very easy to transfer money to a domiciliary account in Nigeria and this costs next to nothing.
This is a combination of lack of exposure and ignorance and probable criminality. Still Nigeria should have a very fast track for investigating and concluding such matters with regards to drug trafficking and so on. But mere failure to declare is already an offence that is taken seriously every where

My thoughts exactly. They night be criminals, and they might as well just be ignorant.

There is no limit to the money you can bring into the country BUT you must declare it and failure to do so makes the money liable to seizure PLUS possible jail time.No story!

There is a very good reason for this law.

With the huge discrepancy between the official bank rate and the black market, only fools still send money to Nigeria via transfer. I am not exonerating these guys but trust me, a lot of dollars and other hard currencies are coming to Nigeria in envelopes. There are a lot of Nigerians abroad with legitimate cash to send home, but they are just looking for someone trustworthy travelling back to Nigeria to move the cash for them. undecided undecided undecided

I find it hard to accept the ignorance because in most aiirports or boarding you have to complete a declaration on money. That was happening at Lagos ,i don't know if it stopped.

remember this?

But i didnt see any where drugs were found on them. How did they become suspected drug traffickers then?
Re: NDLEA Seizes N175m From Suspected Drug Traffickers (photos) by musicwriter(m): 9:30am On Oct 20, 2016
These people did not commit any crime according to the report. The government should know that with the favourable exchange rate at the blackmarket comes the influx of such cash into the country. Nobody wants to pass through the banks anymore, cause that would mean losing a good chunk of monies in the official conversion rate.

May be their offense was not declaring the money upon entrance, but that shouldn't lead to confiscation. How many Nigerian politicians have declared their loots? Buhari promised he and his ministers would be declaring their assets, but 2 years in his tenure no public declaration of assets.

The duo should look for a good lawyer to sue the NDLEA, cause publishing their pictures online without proof of criminal origin of funds is an offense itself by the NDLEA.

You can send money to a domiciliary account . For the entire money they had they would not have paid 100 Euros and many banks do not charge at all.
Re: NDLEA Seizes N175m From Suspected Drug Traffickers (photos) by Nobody: 9:32am On Oct 20, 2016
this is a clear case of money laundering because they failed to declare it at the port of entry, and obviously it's a case for the efcc, smh, what a misleading headline, to think some ignorant people just jumped to spew rubbish for the bottom of their tribalistic hearts without even reading, smh

Abeg, wetin be their crime?

Money laundering.. Its illegal to carry huge amounts of money across borders... because if its for purchase of guns, drugs, or kidnap ransom... It can't be traced. When u use the right transfer channels the money can always be traced so most illegal men that don't want to leave a paper trail launder their money
