Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria officials at the Murtala Muhammed Airport Ikeja, Lagos State yesterday arrested a worker with one of the cleaning contractors at the airport, Tijani Owolabi, after $271,135 was found on him. FAAN officials say the money was found on Owolabi during a pat down at one of the screening points at ‘D’ Finger of the international terminal.
Some of the foreign currency was found on the person of Mr. Owolabi while the rest was recovered from the sanitary bucket he was trying to pass through screening. It is believed that he was carrying the foreign currency to an accomplice at the sterile area of the terminal. He has been over to the police for interrogation and further investigation.
