EFCC Arraigns Austrian for Failing to Declare $800K, €651K at Lagos Airport
An Austrian citizen, Kavlak Onal, has been arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Lagos for allegedly failing to declare large sums of foreign currency while departing Nigeria.
Onal was stopped on December 16, 2025, during a routine inspection at the Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Currency Declaration Desk at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja. Authorities reportedly discovered he was carrying $800,575 and €651,505 without making the required declarations.
He appeared before Justice Yelim Bogoro at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, with the EFCC expected to continue investigation and prosecution in line with Nigeria’s anti-money laundering laws.
According to the EFCC’s statement, Onal had been scheduled to fly to Dubai on Emirates Airline when he was intercepted by the Nigeria Customs Service.
