The Nigeria Customs Service on Friday arrested a Hong Kong-bound passenger at Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, with 767,500 dollars.

The Customs Command at the airport said the passenger was arrested while boarding Emirates flight number EK782 to Hong Kong.

The Public Relations Officer of the Customs Service at the airport, Mrs Thelma Williams, said although the passenger declared the amount on the prescribed forms CDF1A and CDF1B, he could not explain satisfactorily the source of the money.

Williams said upon investigation, the suspect was observed to be a frequent traveller. “Upon investigation, the passenger was noted as a frequent traveller with the currency.

“He travelled between April 27 and Sept. 15, 2012 with 1.3 million dollars, which he took to Hong Kong.

“Also in Nov. 3, 2012, the suspect travelled with 10,000 dollars to China and the present case of Jan. 10 when he was caught trying to smuggle out 767,500 dollars to Hong Kong,” Williams said.

She said the passenger and the amount had been handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for further investigation. NAN

Well done Nigerian customs services!, but why be say Una no even write the smuggler's name or even show him photo....?.

My SADNESS be say if that smuggler na a Nigerian or an African Darky, Una go show him face for newspappers, Tv's etc, Una go write him name, him mother's name, him wife's name, him father's name, how many children wey em get go just follow in as headlines!. Sorry my Naija people!, we too RESPECT all those FAKE Oyibo wey de EXPLOIT our country while we no de show LOVE & RESPECT to ourselves!!!.
