1. Why are you wasting my time with obfuscation? You reference a news that was refuted by Customs the very next day. I am sure you google-searched the link, The news you referenced was on October 8th 2016, yet on October 9th 2016 in the very same Vanguard newspaper the Customs refuted the earlier published news
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/rice-imports-remain-banned-land-borders-customs/

2. Why raid at 1p.m? Because the law permit them to raid at any time.

The Customs & Excise Management Act


3. Why can't rice section be cordoned off? The law did not prescribe that in the Act. The law says FORFEITURE. I would have imagined that the logical thing for you to do at this stage is to back your position with relevant aspect of the law. I need to know if my argument with you is from the point of law or from your opinions and conjectures

4. The Act provides for these traders or importers of these Rice to go to the Customs & Excise Board to show proof that they paid all dues. That is what the traders should do if they have proof. The very first question you should ask is, how many of these traders can show proof...virtually none. Why? Importing Rice is ILLEGAL

importing rice is not illegal. I clearly stated in a previous post that dealers should do the needful.

3. so people who can search & detain cannot have an area cordoned off in the course of carrying out their duties right? OK oooo.

2. I have not disputed their right to raid at anytime of the day, what I clearly inferred was the opportunity for the traders to show evidence if any, of duties paid;

1. check no.4, & I admit my error for the link.

you keep dealing in absolutes. if the law was always applied in 'extremes in all cases' simply because the law states so, you would have chaos in the society.

anyway, let those who have proper documents do the needful...

I rest my case.
