The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has intercepted $193,000 concealed in a yoghurt carton at Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
NCS spokesperson Abdullahi Maiwada said the passenger, who arrived from Jeddah on an Ethiopian Airlines flight, failed to declare the cash as required by law.
The funds have been handed over to the EFCC for investigation. The NCS urged travellers to comply with currency declaration rules to avoid legal action.
