EFCC Investigates Unlawful Foreign Currency Seizures at Kano Airport

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has launched an investigation into the illegal movement of undeclared foreign currencies intercepted by the Nigeria Customs Service at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport. Customs officials seized a total of $73,000, 15,957 British Pounds, and 827,800 Saudi Riyals between August 8 and August 12. One individual, Haruna Yusuf, was taken into custody following the discovery of cash concealed in his luggage, while authorities are also probing a separate case involving unaccompanied baggage. The anti-graft agency warned that failing to declare large sums of cash violates the Money Laundering Act of 2022.
