Customs intercepts ‘undeclared $193,000′ hidden in yoghurt carton at Abuja airport

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) says its operatives intercepted an undeclared $193,000 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

In a statement on Friday, Abdullahi Maiwada, the NCS spokesperson, said the undeclared currency was concealed inside a carton of yoghurt.

Maiwada noted that the passenger arrived in Nigeria on an Ethiopian Airlines flight, No. 951, from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

He said the undeclared funds violated the Anti-Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022 and the Nigeria Customs Service Act 2023, which require travellers carrying over $10,000 or equivalent in negotiable instruments to declare it upon arrival or departure.

Acting on intelligence, customs officers conducted a detailed inspection, leading to the discovery of the concealed cash,” the statement reads.

“The seized money has been formally handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for further investigation and possible prosecution.

“As required by law, we are handing over the forfeited funds to the EFCC for further necessary action.”

Maiwada reiterated the NCS commitment to enforcing financial regulations and preventing illicit financial flows across Nigeria’s borders.

He urged travellers to comply with the legal requirement to declare any cash or negotiable instruments exceeding the approved threshold when entering or leaving the country.

The proliferation of the US Dollars in Nigeria is something we must tackle in order to fix our country.

We cannot have the Dollar flying everywhere yet we want a better Nigeria.

In order to fix Nigeria, we must totally reject the proliferation, trading and exchange of the USD in the open market without express approval from the CBN and strict regulations.

We must ban Bureau the Change operators from selling USD. They can only buy USD but not selling it to the public.

*COPIED*

WIKE WON THE BATTLE, BUT LOST THE WAR.

I'll explain myself in the following paragraphs:

1. On the night PBAT announced the state of emergency, a group led by the SP visited Wike at his residence. I don't know the purpose of the visit, maybe to felicitate with him on his perceived victory.

2. Some pictures taken when they were leaving made it to the social media, and a particular one out of them got my attention.

3. In that picture, while the rest were in a lively mood, Wike cut a forlorn look. I couldn't stop looking at that picture. It was heavily pregnant with meaning and I desperately wanted to midwife it. Why is he still sad, ṣebi his enemy has been removed?

4. The acts that followed the declaration ––the immediate swearing-in of the administrator, the attorney-General's pathetic defence, the desperate and high level lobbying of the assembly members to approve the declaration, and the shameful 'voice quorum' method adopted by the assembly in approving it––gave me the breakthrough with the picture. What's so important with the state of emergency declaration in a state that's not at war?

5. That was PBAT's joker to masterfully nail Wike.

6. While it seemed both PBAT and Wike wanted the same thing- to get rid of Sim and gain control of Rivers, PBAT was also out to get Wike, as his growing power was becoming a discomfort for PBAT.

7. Wike wanted Sim and his deputy out by impeachment so that he can instal his boy, the speaker as the governor, thereby still firmly controlling the state, but PBAT had a different plan.

8. PBAT's plan is to DIRECTLY own Rivers, and render Wike irrelevant structurally and politically.

9. While Wike thought he was enjoying the federal power all this while, PBAT was actually equipping him to self-destroy.

10. PBAT played along up until the court ruling and just as Wike was about to pull the final string for his boys to impeach Sim, PBAT shocked him with the state of emergency announcement, sacking not only Sim but every of Wike's associates. He didn't ẹspẹrrẹdit.

11. PBAT then appointed an administrator with a military background who knows the terrain and politics of the state to answer directly to him. This move cuts Wike's grip on the state and completely uproots his structure.

12. Wike knows he's in trouble. Having single-handedly destroyed pdp and fought really hard to become the most-hated man in the state, PBAT has just stripped him of his last honour as the godfather- a leverage he has been using on PBAT.

13. There's a saying that, before you go on a revenge fight you must dig two graves. WIKE, already a persona non grata at home and about to be politically and structurally rendered irrelevant by PBAT, arrogantly dug only one and buried his enemy there. Where would his own remains be buried now?

14. There's only one true winner here and that's PBAT, the master of the dark arts of politics.

15. Why is the control of Rivers so important?

Economic - Rivers have largely been funding all Presidential elections in the country since Peter Odili

Yes they do. But I know they won't make sense to you because your heart is affixed towards hatred, pain and poverty. You hate your country to a point where you can no longer hide it.

Well, you know the easy way out. But folks like you will still be born or reincarnated back to Nigeria even if you die a million times.

Clearly something else went down. No one can be daft enough to pack dollars in a carton that can be opened by anyone. And a carton with food items is always going to be searched
