Whatever misgivings one might have against the present management of the Nigeria Customs Service, the giant strides of achievement it has taken continue to astound as the Federal Operations Unit, Zone ‘A’, on Monday announced that it seizes a number of smuggled goods amounting to over N783m in 3 weeks from August 9 to 25, 2017.
Mohammed Garba, the Comptroller of the zone, revealed this while taking newmen round the command’s warehouses where the seized items were kept.
The comptroller listed some of the confiscated items as 27 different brands of vehicles, ranging from 2007 to 2013 models valued at N228.8m. The list also include frozen poultry, foreign parboiled rice, Indian hemp, pharmaceutical drugs, used tyres and general merchandise.
In another related development, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), disclosed yesterday the seizure of 1,237 bags of expired foreign parboiled rice by its men in the Lagos command.
