THE WIFE WAS BANNED FROM TRAVELLING OUTSIDE NIGERIA BEING A FALLOUT FROM THE
SEIZURE OF 38 SUITE CASES CONTAINING CASH MONEY (US$600 MILLION) FROM HER AT
THE MURTALA MOHAMMED INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, ON HER WAY TO SAUDI ARABIA, ALSO
HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY HAVE BEEN RECOVERED FROM HER AND HER SON WHO IS IN
INCASERATION NOW.

COMPANY. THIS MONEY IS ALREADY IN OVESEAS AND IT IS DEPOSITED IN DIPLOMATIC
BOXES, AS ARTIFACTS AND PERSONAL EFFECTS, IT IS ONLY THE BOTH OF US THAT
KNOWS IT CONTAINS CASH MONEY.
IF YOUR CONDITIONS ARE ACCEPTABLE WE WILL PREPARE YOU AS THE BENEFICIARY OF
THE BOXES. WE HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTS WITH US. THE SECURITY COMPANY BROAD

EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT WE SHALL GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
