Operatives of the Lagos Directorate 2 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has commenced an investigation into a suspect, Okorie Sylvernus Sunday, who was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos with $578,000.
The suspect was handed over to the EFCC by the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) for false currency declaration.
According to the NCS, Sunday had declared $279,000 upon arrival from Johannesburg, South Africa, but was found to have concealed an additional $299,000, totalling $578,000.
He also had 100 Euros and a counterfeit $250 bill.
According to Head of Media and Publicity, EFCC, Dele Oyewale, the investigations commenced on Friday, March 21, 2025, shortly after the Area Comptroller in charge of the NCS at the airport, E J Harrison, handed over Sunday to the EFCC for false currency declaration.
“The suspect was arrested by the Customs upon arrival in the country from Johannesburg, South Africa, on Wednesday, March 19, 2025.
“On arrival, he had approached the Currency Declaration Desk and declared the sum of $279,000.
“However, an additional sum of $299,000 was found to be neatly concealed in different packages, thereby totalling $578,000.
“During further examination, the suspect was found to have also concealed the sum of 100 Euros, as well as a counterfeit $250″, Oyewale said.
He further quoted Harrison who spoke on behalf of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi as saying, “This is in contravention of the provisions of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act 2011, which stipulates that any currency or other forms of negotiable instruments, where the value exceeds $10,000 threshold or its equivalent must be properly declared for inbound and outbound passengers.
“The Command will be handing over a total sum of $578,000 to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for false currency declaration”.
Receiving the suspect, the acting Zonal Director, Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 of the EFCC, Ahmed Ghali, was said to have commended the NCS for its cooperation with the commission.
“We are here today to take over one passenger coming from South Africa for falsely declaring the cash he was carrying along. I want members of the public to be wary of this kind of act.
“It is incumbent on each and every person going out or coming into the country to declare any cash in excess of $10,000. It is mandatory by virtue of the provisions of our laws, especially the money laundering law”, Oyewale quoted Ghali.

Enough is Enough: Nigerians Must Recall Lawmakers Who Betray Public Trust

Elected officials are accountable to the people, and when they engage in misconduct, incompetence, or unethical behavior, they must be held responsible. The recall move against Senator Neda Imasuen and the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti highlight the urgent need for Nigerians to take action against lawmakers who abuse their mandate. Public office is a privilege, not a license for impunity.
Across the world, democratic nations uphold strict accountability measures. Nigeria must do the same. Misconduct in the National Assembly delays critical legislation, misrepresents constituents, and damages national credibility. When senators violate rules or fail in their duties, they must face consequences. If Nigerians tolerate bad governance, it sets a dangerous precedent for more lawlessness.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has now released official guidelines for recalling any underperforming or unethical lawmaker.** Nigerians have the constitutional power to remove representatives who betray their trust. The process is clear; mobilize your constituency, submit a petition, and demand INEC’s intervention. It is time to use this tool effectively.
Complaints alone will not bring change, action is needed. Lawmakers work for the people, not themselves. If they misuse power, they must go. The recall of Senator Imasuen over incompetence and the suspension of Senator Natasha for misconduct should be the beginning of a new era of political accountability.
The time for passive tolerance is over. Nigerians must rise, hold their leaders accountable, and reclaim the integrity of governance. INEC has provided the road map now the people must act.
