HOW NIGERIAN CUSTOM SERVICES SEIZED SEVENTY ONE MILLION NAIRA FROM SUSPECTS AT THE BANK OF NIGER

It's in the news that the Katsina Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) intercepted a vehicle loaded with more than N71,350,000 suspected to be for laundering.

Acting Controller at the command, Dalhat Wada-Chedi, made the disclosure on Monday, November 29, while briefing newsmen on the achievements of the command for the month of November 2021.

He said three suspects were arrested at Dan Isa community, located at the bank of Niger Republic with the said amount in the middle of the night

"While intensifying our search on anti-smuggling activities on Katsina-Jibia border axis, we arrested three suspects with N71.350 million Naira cash inside the booth of an ash coloured Toyota Corolla along Katsina Jibia axis exit. The said amount was stashed inside a ghana must go bag.”

Its appalling to realize that despite scarcity of fund in the country both for individuals and the government there are still some people who has voluminous amount of money in their possession.

The whistle blowing effects have actually made the possession and movement of cash in the country a dicey affair. Hopefully more news about the fund will surface later
