EFCC arrests man at Kano airport for failing to declare $207,000 cash

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested one Sani Abdullahi at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, over alleged money laundering.
Abdullahi was arrested during the screening of passengers boarding the China bound Ethiopian Air from Kano.
He was alleged to have failed to fully declare $207,000 dollars (N63,135,000) in his possession.
According to a statement in Abuja on Wednesday by EFCC spokesman, Mr Tony Orilade, Abdullahi declared the sum of $86,000 (N26,230, 000) but concealed $121,000 dollars (N36,905,000)
Orilade said the concealed amount was discovered after he was searched by operatives of the commission.
The offence is contrary to the Money Laundering Act 2011 (as amended).
Orilade, however, said the suspect had been granted administrative bail and would soon be charged to court.
