The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) says it has intercepted the sum of $8,065,612, suspected to be intended for laundering, at the tarmac of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.

Displaying the seizure before newsmen on Tuesday, the NCS Controller-General, Col. Hameed Ali (rtd), said the movement of the money, some of which were wrapped with names on them, contravened the law as it was not declared.

According to him, the seizure was in 20 sealed wraps in six Ghana-Must-Go bags. He disclosed that two suspects have been arrested and were in custody, while preliminary investigations have begun.

Further investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will follow before prosecution will commence, Ali stated, while advising travelers to always exceeding $10,000, in line with the Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing laws.

On his part, the Customs Area Controller, International Airport, Adewale Adeniyi, said the interception followed credible intelligence.
