Kumar was intercepted by Customs operatives during a routine check on Wednesday, July 7, 2025, at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.

EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, said upon arrest, the suspect, who was scheduled to travel to India, claimed he had only $6,000 on him.

During the handing over of the suspect, the Area Comptroller in charge of the NCS at the Airport, E. I. Harrison, said there was a need for concerted effort “to make Nigeria move from where it is to where we will gain more respect in the international community.”

He added, “We have the mandate and the authority to make sure that whatever will be injurious to our economy is not allowed to take place, especially in this our Command.
