The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has opened an investigation into two travellers caught with undeclared foreign currencies totalling $6,180 and £53,415 at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Terminal 2, Lagos.
In a statement posted on its verified X handle on Saturday, the commission said its Lagos Zonal Directorate 2, based in Ikoyi, identified the suspects as Mamud Nasidi and Yahaya Nasidi.
According to the EFCC, personnel of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) apprehended the suspects during a routine inspection. They were allegedly found attempting to board an Aero Contractors flight with the undeclared cash.

LOCATED AT “ABUJA, LAGOS, OSUN
Earlier reports indicated that the duo, who had arrived from Dubai via Addis Ababa and were heading to Abuja, claimed to be security operatives escorting a suspect and the funds as exhibits.
The EFCC, however, stated that the travellers violated financial regulations by failing to declare the cash in their possession as required by law.
Following their arrest, they were first handed over to the Department of State Services (DSS) before being transferred to the EFCC for further investigation and possible prosecution.
The commission added that three mobile phones were seized from the suspects. The suspects and the exhibits were received by CSE Margaret Lamai on behalf of the Acting Zonal Director, Lagos Zonal Directorate 2, Assistant Commander of the EFCC, Ahmed Ghali.
