Aviation Security personnel of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria on Thursday apprehended a staff of a cleaning firm at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos, with N54.23m ($271,135).
According to FAAN, the AVSEC officials prevented the trafficking of the total sum of $271, 135 through the Lagos airport by arresting the cleaner.
The authority, in a statement on Thursday night, said “The sum was found on a worker with one of the cleaning contractors at the airport, Mr. Tijani Owolabi, during a pat down at one of the screening points at ‘D’ Finger of the international terminal.
“Some of the foreign currency were found on the person of Owolabi while the rest were recovered from the sanitary bucket he was trying to pass through screening.”
FAAN said the airport cleaner who was suspected to be conveying the foreign currency to an accomplice at the sterile area of the terminal, was immediately apprehended by Aviation Security officials on duty and handed over to the appropriate security agencies at the airport for further investigation.
