Sir,
Re: THE LEBANESE IN POSSESSION OF $300,000 CASH AT NIGERIAN AIRPORT

It is good that the NDLEA and the Airport Security authorities are doing their job appreciably
now, one supposes. In the media recently it was reported that a 35-year old Lebanese, Mr.
Fareed Berro, was intercepted at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at Abuja while
attempting to smuggle out $300,000 suspected to be illegal money that could be traced to
drug proceeds. The NDLEA was quoted in the Daily Sun of Wednesday December 30, 2009
as saying that its preliminary investigation is giving out a lead that the fund could be from
drug as the Fareed was recorded to have come into the country from Beirut not quite a
week before he was apprehended on his way out.

But what the public is saying is that this case should not be like some past cases where
after announcing that such a catch was made; it becomes the last it would be heard about.
In which case, it would be assumed that the security agencies involved would have ‘died’
the matter after having been ‘settled’. It will do the NDLEA all the good if it ensured that as
the case progresses, the public is made to know; at least this would give them the much
needed credibility to shore up its image. Not quite recently, the airport authorities
intercepted $3,100,000 in cash being ferried from Lagos Airport to Abuja and which Bank
PHB seems to now try to claim paternity of the money after keeping quiet for upward of one
month. Yet there is no way the Bank would convince the public that its claim was not an
afterthought based on threat that may bother on possible withdrawal of accounts of Akwa
Ibom State government.

The federal government should equip the various security agencies especially those at the
ports of entries and exists within Nigeria (internally and externally). The case of suicide
bomber Muttallab is a sore case that should make the federal government to sit up in
ensuring that more security apparatuses are engaged to help out security agencies.
