EFCC Nabs Security Inspector Concealing N4.4bn Gold at Kano Airport
On Thursday, June 11, the EFCC arrested an Aviation Security inspector and two suspects at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport. They allegedly tried to smuggle 22.2kg of unprocessed gold bars worth over N4.4 billion. Preliminary findings show the inspector hid the gold in his trousers to bypass screening. Aushabu Nasidi was found carrying Saudi Riyals, Turkish lira, Kuwaiti dinar and other currencies. Another suspect admitted smuggling 40.2kg of gold between June 1 and June 11 using the same method. The arrests followed a routine EFCC operation targeting bulk cash and mineral smuggling at airports. All three remain in custody and will be charged upon conclusion of the investigation.
