FAAN Recovers Missing Luggage With Huge Sum of Money
The joy of a Nigerian traveller, Mrs Dilalat, Titilayo Onabokun who lost a lump sum of money while returning to her base in Atlanta, Georgia, USA knew no bounds when she was informed by officials of the Aviation Security (AVSEC) of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) that her lost luggage with money of $8,500.00 had been found.
Dilalat, a
Nigerian living in the USA had misplaced her luggage at the Murtala Muhammed
International Airport, Lagos while flying to Atlanta, Georgia on November, 10,
2013 via Delta Airline and was found by AVSEC officials while conducting
routine search.

The office of
the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) took over the investigation, checked
the content of the baggage and discovered among other items, the address of the
owner as well as contact number.
Subsequently, the office contacted her by phone and asked for a confirmation of her identity, as well as a confirmation of the fact that she had actually misplaced her luggage. She confirmed her identity, but wrongly claimed that she left only $7,200.00, in a white envelope while in fact CIB had discovered $8,500.00 in her bag. On further questioning she confirmed the extra $1,300.00.

Dilalat has
been re-united with her money, as well as the luggage. FAAN therefore used the
opportunity to appeal to members of the public that may have left any luggage
at any of its terminals to come forward promptly with evidence of ownership.
