Two Nigerians and an Isreali arrested for smuggling $9.3m into SA

South African police are currently investigating two Nigerians and an Israeli citizen who tried to smuggle $9.3 million in cash into the country on September 5th.

According to South Africa's City Press newspaper, the money which was in bundles of unused $100 bills packed in three suitcase were transported in a small business jet, a bombadier Challenger 600 with a Nigerian crew and piloted by Captain Tunde Ojongbede. Continue...


The jet departed from Abuja and when it arrived South Africa, the money was discovered and when asked, the men said it was for the purchase of arms for the Nigerian security services.

Spokesperson of the South African Revenue Service (SARS), Marika Muller in a statement said the money was seized at the Lanseria airport, northwest of Johannesburg
"The passengers' luggage was searched after Customs officials detected irregularities. The money was detained as it was undisclosed/undeclared and above the prescribed legal limit,"
South African airport security spokesman Solomon Makgale confirmed a police investigation was underway but declined to give details.

Up Naija! So the entire Defense Ministry cannot buy arms without carrying the money in cash? Was the budget released also in Cash in Nigeria?

This also goes to show the complicity and lack of safety/professionalism of the Nigerian Airports as this cash passed through screening yet went undetected or was allowed through.

Shame of a nation.

Why mention the name of the pilot and leave out the names of the two Nigerian passengers and the name of the Israeli?
Typical, fry the small fish and let the big fish continue swimming.
Captain Tunde is a pilot that was/is with ****airline. If he is still in **** airline it would mean that Its either the Chairman and the MD of ****airline or one of their friends in Government. Money laundering things.
If he is no longer with ****airline then it should be one of the big boys in Government and a certain banker/money cleaner that own one of these private jets.
just guessing
