Him self him way no pure
He cannot prove the sender is really his brother
He wants to reap where he did not sow

Who will risk sending that kind of money stashed in a parcel.
Plus the Abuja/lagos story is a scammer tale

I tell you, the whole thing didn't add up

Western Union no dey work again? Na wah for una oooooo! What about wire transfer? So, because, you dey for Lagos, make that cash lost like that? If na FG job interview for Abuja, you no go go? Come on, move that ass and start preparing how to go claim your cash from those criminals!
Is transfer wire a good app?

In a sane society, they would have to provide documentations, to trace source of funds...........

Azimo, Worldremit etc etc, would send money within 2 minutes (for a small fee)........

Not Transfer wise! Wire Transfer is an electronic money transfer to a foreign currency account( DOMICILIARY Account) holder! I'll check out Transfer wise!

Blame your brother for this because individuals are not allow to freight / ship currencies. No country in the world will allow that. There is so many app one can use to send money to Nigeria from USA
Bosss Revolution (Fee $3.99 to send $1000). You are only allow to send $2999 per month
Western Union (Fee $10 to $15 to send $1000)
Ping Express (Fee $13 to send $1000)
These apps will send it straight to bank account in Nigeria

Maybe the money is not legitimate. I am 100% sure that the money is not declare to Fedex at point of shipment.
This boss revolution is very cheap. How fast and reliable is it?

Into one's account directly right? Not like money gram where you go to bank to queue before getting it?

Definitely! But, you have to go to your bank to get the right details, to eschew BOUNCED transfer! Every Bounced transfer attracts a penalty of $25!

Savings account details is very different from Wire Transfer details: Swift code; ABA number; Bank Address; Correspondent bank details eg GT bank( Citibank, New York, for US Wire). Make your bank's customer care your best friend!

You aren't suppose to statsh money inside a package. Especially the one coming to Nigeria for it will be considered as Money Laundering. I'll advice you to go to abuja or contact an agent to help you our.. But nor full assurance on the money

Money laundering act straight to Jail. Don't even try to go there, na straight to prison. Talk true na your maga send the money.

By the way what's your package doing in Abuja when you are in Lagos. I believe you are being scammed or there is more to your story.

You fall for a old scam that as been existing since the time of Blackberry messenger. They will show you invoice and receipt of the shipping company. Guy you don pay mugu money.

Awon G boys, 4800 exactly, owo loading. Sha show solidarity for Simmer as you're receiving here

My brother sent me a parcel from abroad using FedEx freight shipment in the parcel he stashed $4800 in it when the parcel arrived at Nigeria at there headquarters in abuja I was asked to pay custom fee which was N17750 and home delivery N15750 after that I was mailed that after unboxing and reboxing for clearance money was found and it placed on ban and I can't go to abuja to claim it because am in Lagos please what should I do. Who are the neccesary agency I can talk to. Nairalander please help me out.
please in case of next time, educate your brother on cryptocurrency, he would have sent you such amount of money through bitcoin wallet instead. I get angry when I see such happening
Re: $4800 Sent To Me By My Brother Has Been Hijacked By Nigeria Customs by 2buffagain(m): 3:33pm On Jan 30, 2020
That your package sounds illegal as heck.

I applaud the customs for seizing it.
OP speak truly. The ONLY reason you people are trying to smuggle that money in that way is because it is DIRTY MONEY. Nobody sends clean money in a package. It's cheaper to use an app or even wire for that.

You, your brother, or both of you, are criminal scum giving Nigerians a bad name the world over.
