BUSINESSMAN WITH $184,800 CONCEALED IN DIAPERS ARRESTED AT AMINU KANO AIRPORT

A businessman, who was caught with 184,800 dollars concealed in diapers, has been arrested at the Aminu Kano Airport.


The Kano, Jigawa Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has handed over the businessman, Sabo Suleiman, to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for further investigation.


The command comptroller, Mr Suleiman Umar said that Suleiman was arrested in possession of 184,800 dollars concealed in diapers and 1.7 million Saudi Riyals at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano.


However, the suspect arrived on Ethiopian Airlines and the law in Nigeria mandates that every traveller who intends to travel with cash above 10,000 dollars must declare it to the authorities. Suleiman failed to do so.
