Woman Caught At Lagos Airport With Over N74M Hidden In Packs Of Oats

A 39-year old South African woman named Nosisi Nqgula, was arrested at the Murtala M​u​hammed International Airport Lagos, with $373,725 (N74.4million) and €2,120 (N450,000) concealed inside 5 packs of oats. Two Nigerians, Damian Akamelus and Prophet Cyprian Chigere are also being interrogated in connection with the seized money as she came to deliver the money to them.
Ms. Nqgula, who works in a cosmetic shop, said the bag containing the money was given to her by a Nigerian in South Africa. The money was detected during an inward screening of passengers on a South African airline flight from Johannesburg. The mode of concealment presents reasonable grounds for money laundering.
