August 20, 2013 – Nigerian Politician, Nse
Ntuen Arrested For Smuggling 82,000
Dollars Into Baltimore, Maryland, USA (Akwa
Ibom LGA Chairman)
Nse Ntuen, Akwa Ibom Local Government
Chairman who smuggled $82,000 out of Nigeria
unchallenged has been arrested in the United
States of America.
According to Maryland Police official, the
Nigerian politician was arrested with a total
sum of $82,000 on arrival in the US on Friday
August 16, 2013.
Nse Ntuen, the Chairman of the Akwa Ibom State
Association of Local Governments of Nigeria
(ALGON), was on Friday arrested by operatives of
the Maryland State Police Department at the BWI
International Airport, Baltimore.
He was accused of not declaring the money to US
and Nigerian Customs officials, a money
laundering case.
An official of Maryland State Police Dept. at the
airport said Nse Ntuen only declared $5,000 on
getting to the airport. Mr Strike Thomas said the
rest $77,000 was found in his bag after further
security checks.
The official who agreed to be quoted pressed
further that the chairman who flew into the United
Stated from London, United Kingdom, was later
taken to their investigation room where an
additional $77, 000 was found in his bag.
Hon. Nse Ntuen who accepted he smuggled the
money into the US claims he plans to donate the
money at the just-concluded Annual International
Convention of the Akwa Ibom Indigenes in the
United States and Canada which was held at the
Marriott Hotel in Washington, DC.
The suspect was later made to write and sign a
statement where he accepted that he brought in
items which he failed to declared to both the
Nigerian and United States Custom agencies.
Nse Ntuen was held for over 5 hours before he
was released. The whole amount he smuggled
was seized by Maryland State Police Department.
He left the scene empty handed.
Chei! see Nigerian politicians and their show of
shame.
