EXACTLY a week after it started operations as a replacement airport for the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, the Kaduna International Airport has come into the news for a strange reason. The sum of N49 million was intercepted by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as the huge was being ferried out through the airport.
According to a statement released by the Spokesman for the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, the cash was found during a routine baggage screening. According to the information, the money was contained in five unmarked and unaccompanied large black coloured Buhu sacks.
“Upon examination, the bags were found to contain fresh crispy Naira notes of N200 denomination in 20 bundles totalling N40 million and N50 denomination in 180 bundles totalling N9 million with seal purportedly emanating from the Nigeria Security and Minting Plc (NSPM) as seen in the labelled sealed packs.
The EFCC spokesman said investigation into the case was in top gear to unravel the culprits behind the attempted illegal movement of the cash. – Vanguard
