EFCC Probes Two Men for Concealing $461,600 at Kano Airport

Two men arrested at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport are now under EFCC investigation after customs officers uncovered $461,600 hidden in their luggage. Jamilu Shuaibu Waya and Usman Namadi arrived from Dubai on May 8 and declared $130,000 and $180,000 respectively at the currency desk. A subsequent search revealed an extra $120,000 on Waya (total $250,000) and an extra $31,600 on Namadi (total $211,600). The undeclared sums breach sections 3 and 4 of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022. Deputy Comptroller UU Adamu handed the suspects and the seized cash to EFCC Kano Zonal Director Friday S. Ebelo. The EFCC has vowed a thorough, uncompromising investigation and eventual prosecution. Both agencies praised their ongoing collaboration against financial crime.
