Customs Seizes $8 Million At Lagos International Airport by Citizenshelm: 1:28pm On Feb 04, 2020
The Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA)  Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has intercepted $8,065,615 at the airport, DailyLeakers

A driver working with Nigerian Aviation Handling Company, NAHCO, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport has been arrested by men of Murtala Mohammed International Airport Command over the sum of $8,065,615 loaded into a vehicle he was driving.

Speaking to journalists in Lagos on Tuesday, Mr. Hameed Ali, the customs comptroller-general, said the cash was intercepted while it was about to be loaded into an aircraft from the vehicle.

He did not provide details of the aircraft or the name of the driver who was arrested.

But Ali who said the money was wrapped in large brown envelopes with the names of would-be owners said the Customs would eventually unravel the identity of the owners of the abandoned money.

“From the day we seized this money, no bank has come to claim ownership. But our investigation will reveal the mystery behind the owners,” Alli said.

cool

Nigerian Aviation Handling Company, NAHCO are real criminals, from smugling to money laundering they would even steal from your USPS Parcel and Package

Unless we do something about both NAHCO and Turkish Airline, no positive result would come out of Anti terrorism fight, Anti corruption fight or even border seciurity

If na when Atiku be comptroler for lagos airport, baba for don chop the money and no make noise, ... i sha hope no be Obaseki money them seize again

yeah thats true(Fedex,UPS,DHL).. but they dont fit into some business models as the high cost of logistics would knock of potential profit margin.. so some business owners are still at the mercy of this NAHCO fraudsters

Nigeria doesn't have money.

The little we make as a country is oftentimes cornered by a select few, giving the illusion of wealth.
