He stated that based on intelligence, the 1 x 20ft container No. PONU 210024/1 was brought down to the Enforcement Unit of the Command, where a 100% physical examination was conducted which revealed all the items mentioned earlier.

Speaking further on the status of the seizure, the Customs Area Controller stated that investigation is still ongoing with a view to unraveling those behind the importation and that further profiling of the importer will be carried out to get other details.

God pls save this country... Let's us unite and pray for the unity of our beloved country to forestall any disintegration........

When will Nigerians stop calling shotguns rifles ? Those are pump action 12 guage shotguns and not rifles

Bad guys

This is terrible

So the intention of the importer is to see more lives destroyed while he make millions.

If only God can make some eternal punishments begin on this earth

Am waiting for the zoo crew to come here and condemn this,but they will avoid this thread and you already know why

See weapon!!! Na even tear nylon.

While our nigerian police are still carrying cellotaped guns up and down.

But who could be the fearless dealer/importer?

Nigerians!
to the officers; thumbs up!

My love for guns

Nigeria Custom Service are the problem of importation in Nigeria. They prefer post inspection rather than preinspection of goods for the sake of revenue.

Ipods hand work. God pass them.

Hmm you such say Good no won De wait for government for protection but na to de protect themselves

Hmm na wa o what happened to d first case.

What's the difference?

Seen.

Oh my Jesus!

NCAN, Port Harcourt Branch reporting for duty.

Checks thread, sees nothing, walks away disappointed.

Now thinking, is it IPOB or Fulani Herdsmen, or the Brown Roof Republic?

May 29 approaching, when the fatal news will be disclosed.

Btw. Where is dat officer that threatened to kill 200 people if Buhari dies, your weapons have arrived

Those are good pumps, can be easily concealed in big male jean pants.

Possibly might have been imported by an influential person who intends to help his people against Fulani herdsmen.

Scenarios like this, we make our judgements based our different perspectives.
I'm sure those who own the guns and what they're meant for will never be known, and that's how our world is run, has always been run.

At least you can be glad that the weapons were not referred to as riFFles, with a double "F"that is often included in that spelling by journalists who most likely earned double "F" grades in all the remedial English Language courses they attempted to pass, before they changed careers from motorcycle mechanics to journalists.

The title of the thread even uses the double F

This ones na gun?

I am sure those guns were imported with 2019 in mind

I can assure you the owner would never be found
