A Nigerian businessman named Okechukwu Mba with questionable source of livelihood in Spain had been arrested few days ago in Strasbourg, Eastern France when X-Ray machine showed he had swallowed condoms which contain various denomination of money to the tune of $90,000 (79 Euros equivalent).
Further search on his luggage and outfits confirmed another 13,000 Swiss francs (11,900 euros, $13,500) concealed in his clothes.
French Customs Douane reportedly said that an inbound Nigerian man was arrested in Strasbourg, Eastern France after an X-ray revealed the presence of condoms stuffed with 79,000 Euros ($90,000) cash which he swallowed, found in the man’s intestines. Okecchuckwu has been charged with laundering drug money and lying to customs authorities.
A press statement to airport journalists by French Customs states: “The Nigerian man arrested Saturday in Strasbourg, had another 13,000 Swiss francs (11,900 euros, $13,500) concealed in his clothes.”
Okechukwu told customs agents that he lived in Spain and worked as a dishwasher at a restaurant in the Balearic Islands.
Strangely, a sniffer dog detected marijuana on the banknotes hidden in his clothing. That led to the X-ray that revealed the presence of nine condoms stuffed with the bank notes in the man’s intestines which he had swallowed.
