LAGOS—Nigerian Customs Service has intercepted a large quantity of heroin concealed in a 40-foot container, which was believed to have originated from Iran. The container which was brought into the Tin-can Island Port was concealed among machine parts.

According to the Area Comptroller of Customs Mr. Austin Warikoru, the vessel, MD Montenegro, brought the container into the port yesterday evening and was intercepted by his men based on intelligence information.

He said: “We got wind of the container based on advance information and we decided to carry out inspection on the container. We discovered a large quantity of heroin concealed inside it together machine parts made of cog wheel.

“The quantity of the heroin is not yet ascertained as we are still conducting investigations and carrying out inspection.”

He also stated that the importer is not yet known as the container was not yet declared and no documentation had been made on the container.

He said: “We are yet to uncover the person behind this, but I am sure before we conclude investigations, we must unmask the person or persons involved.

“The goods originated from Iran and the last destination port of the vessel is Nigeria. So the question of the container being on transit is ruled out.”

Warikoru further said that the vessel arrived the port last Tuesday.
Also confirming the interception of the large quantity of hard drugs at the Tin-Can Island Port, Customs spokesman, Mr. Wale Adeniyi, said that about ten wraps of heroine each weighing 112kg had been off-loaded from the container.

It was also gathered that CMA-CGM, the shipping company that brought in the 13 containers of arms and ammunition intercepted recently at the Apapa Port, also brought the heroine-laden container.

Ask Bola Tinubu for the details.
He would know for sure.
The greatest drug baron in Nigeria's history with international networks.

Thank God for the ever vigilant Yoruba people at Tin-can Port, who knows what would have happened to those gullible Almajiris north of the niger. They prolly would have taken that shyyt en masse, thinking it's powdered kunu. Buncha riff-raffs!

Alhaji Mallam, you sef sabi luv?

Hmm, wonders shall never cease.

alj harem:

luv u too if u are female

So you guys love women too, with Sharia and all that?

It's time something serious is done about this. What do we stand to lose from severing our ties with Iran? That's what we should see to, not cancelling some obscure football match.

@alj harem,
if u like luv her 3 or 4 but remember sharia law because that is what we are going to use on u if we catch u luving our sisters.

@topic,
jonathan must explain to nigerians how this country descended so low as to be in a close relationship with Iran. how on earth can nigeria decide among everyother country of this world to have romance with Iran a country under the leadership of a semi-devil.
i can't place this. nigeria now plays football matches with terrorists and do drugs with terrorists and then exchange armunitions with these terrorist nation.
nairalanders must start a special prayer section because if iran finally impose herself on nigeria, non of us will ever have this opportunity to type what we want and post here.
iran is one of the worst countries of this world and as such does not need any close relationship with nigeria.

1025, you IBB, SUPPORTER . It is not jonathan that started our relationship with Iran but IBB then it was Strengthen under his beloved son ABACHA, during whose era Iran trained some Nigerian troops including SGT Rogers. So please get your fact right.
