FAAN OFFICIAL ARRESTED WITH N218m AT MMA.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has apprehended an official of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, Mr. Akinyele Adetula, for trying to launder $1.4m (N218m) at Murtala Mohammed Airport on Saturday.

Akinyele who is a security guard was able to pass through Nigeria Customs Service and National Drug Law Enforcement Agency security checks because he was wearing his identity card and did not draw any suspicion. He drew attention to himself when he started making phone calls instead of proceeding to board his flight. When accosted by the EFCC Akinyele said the money did not belong to him and that he was only trying to call the owner who never showed up. Adetula, claims to have worked for FAAN for over five years, said he was promised N10,000 if he could successfully get the money past security.

10k against N218m? Unbelievable!!!
