Two Nigerians were arrested at the Sangster

International Airport on Wednesday (July 22) while collecting packages at the

airport’s cargo facility.

According to reports, the two African nationals were

collecting packages at the cargo section of the facility when the package was searched and customs officers

discovered it contained bank cards.

When they could not satisfactorily account for the

items, the police were called in.

A secondary investigation was conducted at the

premises in which the foreigners lived.

The search revealed additional devices that reportedly

contained identity information of persons residing overseas.

Detectives attached to the Area One Lottery Scamming

Task Force have charged them with suspected breaches of the Law Reform

(Fraudulent Transactions) (Special Provisions) Act.

The two, identified as 34-year-old Folashade Bakare

and 32-year-old Yusuf Abiodun Bakare, both of Lagos in Nigeria, were also charged under the Immigration Act and will appear

in the St James Parish Court on July 29 to answer to the charges.
