The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has commenced investigation of two Lebanese:  Dina Jihad Khali and Chamseddine Waell Mohmmed, who were arrested by officers of the Customs Area Command, Port Harcourt, Rivers State,  for attempting to smuggle a total sum of $890,000 USD( Eight Hundred and Ninety Thousand United States Dollars) out of Nigeria,  through the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa.
The suspects  were arrested  on Wednesday,  August 12, 2020 and  handed over to the Port Harcourt Zonal office of the EFCC for further investigation.
