The survival instinct of most Africans keeps pushing some of them to do the unthinkable just to have a source of livelihood no matter how dubious the actions are.

The Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) Murtala Muhamed International Airport (MMIA) command has handed over a suspect nabbed with 2,886 ATM cards to EFCC.

The Deputy Controller of MMIA, Abdulmumin Bako of MMIA in a media briefing said that four Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) cards were also intercepted with the suspect.

Per his narrative, the suspect, one lshaq Abubakar Abubakar with Passport Number A08333717 from Kano State, was intercepted when he was travelling to Dubai via Emirates Evacuation flight.

The ATM cards and SIM cards were carefully concealed in noodles carton by the suspect. The suspect claimed that one Mr Musliu was assigned to him to facilitate his movement through the checks at the airport by another guy called Mr Suleiman but due to the diligence of the vigilant officers who insisted on conducting physical examination, the concealment was unravelled.

The Lagos Zonal Head, EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa, said the ATM cards could be used for money laundering or Foreign Exchange Malpractices. He, however, vowed that everyone involved in the conspiracy will be arrested and prosecuted by the commission.
