Spokesman of the commission, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
Uwujaren said the suspect, Adamu Rabiu Mohammed, was intercepted by Customs officers at the Kaduna International Airport on March 3.
According to him, Mohammed was preparing to board an Ethiopian Airline flight to Dubai, United Arab Emirates when he caught the attention of the Customs men.
He was subsequently handed over to the EFCC for further investigation.
Receiving the suspect, the Head of the Kaduna Zonal office of the commission, Mr Ibrahim Bappa, reportedly assured the public that no efforts would be spared to get to the bottom of the matter.
Bappa, who acknowledged the synergy between the EFCC and the Nigeria Customs Service, commended the officers for their vigilance.
