Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Kaduna zonal office, on Tuesday, intercepted N49 million in five large black 150kg coloured BUHU sacks, following a tip off.
During a routine baggage screening, five sacks were sighted unattended and without tags containing fresh bulk items suspected to be money.
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 totaling N9 million with a seal purportedly emanating from the Nigeria Security Printing and Minting Plc (NSPM) as seen in the labelled sealed packs.
Investigation into the case is in top gear to unravel the culprits behind the attempted illegal movement of the cash.
