Traveller Jailed For Not Declaring $40,000 At Lagos Airport

Justice Alexander Owoeye of the Federal High Court in Lagos on Thursday sentenced Igboezue Emeka to one month in prison for money laundering and ordered the forfeiture of $40,000 to the Federal Government of Nigeria.


The convict was arrested on February 12, 2025 at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport by officers of the Nigeria Customs Services (NCS) for failing to declare the sum of $40,000.
On the same day, the NCS handed him over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for further investigation and prosecution.

    3. $40,000 is like nothing compared to the kind of money these corrupt people carry out. Misplaced priority! One bag that these corrupt politicians wives and mistresses carry is over $100,000 for one bag and some of them have more than 10 and that is not to talk about their wristwatches and jewelries. They only bullly little people

  3. Just declare it or bring 10k on four different trips. Money mules are real but for some folks it’s their own money. Yes, it’s a hassle to travel four times but it is better than losing it

  5. He will not forfeit the money unless he cannot prove that it belongs to him.
