Customs intercepts undeclared $1.1m at Kano airport.

​The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) recently intercepted undeclared foreign currencies totaling $1,154,900 and 135,900 Saudi Riyals at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano. The discovery occurred during a routine baggage check on an inbound passenger, Hauwa Abdullahi Ibrahim, arriving from Saudi Arabia on Saudi Airline Flight No. SV401. The undeclared funds were concealed within packs of palm dates, locally known as “dabino.” ​www.multilinks.biz

Following her arrest, Ibrahim was handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for further investigation. She was subsequently charged with money laundering under Section 3 (3) of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022. Upon arraignment, Ibrahim pleaded guilty to the charges. The court convicted her and ordered the forfeiture of the seized funds to the Federal Government of Nigeria. ​www.multilinks.biz

The NCS emphasized the importance of compliance with financial regulations, urging travelers to declare cash or negotiable instruments exceeding the approved threshold when entering or leaving Nigeria. Non-compliance constitutes a violation of Nigerian law and attracts severe penalties. ​

This incident underscores the NCS’s commitment to enforcing monetary regulations and preventing illicit financial flows across Nigeria’s borders. The service remains resolute in its enforcement efforts to combat smuggling, illicit financial transactions, and other transborder crimes.
