Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday arrested one Bashir Abdu at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport with 130,000 dollars in cash.
A statement signed by the Commission’s spokesman, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, which was made available in Lagos, alleged that the suspect was a Nigerian resident in Dubai.
The statement said the suspect was on board Egypt Air when he was arrested by the EFCC for failing to declare the 130,000 dollars on him.
“He only declared the gold bars with him and 30,000 Saudi Riyals,’’ it alleged.
The statement said that arrangements had been concluded to arraign the suspect under Section 12 of the Foreign Exchange (Monitoring and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2004 and Section 2 sub-Section (5) of the Money Laundering Act 2011
