Before now, the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, was the most patronized route for potential money couriers but surprisingly, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, yesterday arrested two persons at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, for attempting to smuggle $240,000 out of the country.
The duo, Moghalu Maduakonam and Esho Femi David, were nabbed separately with $200,000.00 and $40,050 respectively. Maduakonam was travelling to Dubai, United Arab Emirates with the said sum which he failed to declare while Turkey- bound David, declared only $5,000 out of the cash sum on his person.
The cash couriers are to be charged to court as soon as invetigation is concluded
