A Nigerian man has been caught in Malawi while trying to conceal some thousands of dollars.
The Malawi Police at Kamuzu International Airport (KIA), Lilongwe, on Monday afternoon
May 8, arrested a 43-year old Nigerian national for attempting to externalise US$7,000 (MK5
million), which was hidden in his hand luggage.
KIA Spokesperson Sapulain Chitonde, identified the suspect as Egemonye Christian Chinedu,
from Nnewi and holder of a Nigerian Passport number A05010761.
Chinedu was apprehended inside the Departures Lounge at around 13:00 hours, as he waited to
board a Nigerian-bound Kenyan Airways flight.
Chitonde told The Maravi Post that the suspect was physically searched by Police Officers
manning the check point, and the said amount
of US$7,000, was discovered.
The KIA Spokesperson said the Nigerian failed to provide evidence from authorised Forex
dealers, when he was asked to show supporting documents.
