Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, Ogun Command Area 1 has intercepted contraband worth N72.5 million in August, the Area Controller of the command, Comptroller Peter Kolo has said.

Giving a breakdown during a press briefing held at Idiroko Area Command, Kolo said the contraband include ‘’95 seizures comprising 4,138 bags of foreign parboiled rice of 50kg each, 830 cartons of frozen poultry products, 15 units of both foreign used vehicles and means of conveyance, 6 sacks of cannabis sativa and other illicit drugs, 6 bales and 15 sacks of used /secondhand clothings, 6 sacks and 90 pieces of used handbags, 16 sack and 34 pairs of used shoes, 592 kegs of petroleum products of 25 litres each made for smuggling outside the country, and many other items.

Comptroller Kolo reiterated that Ogun State borders remained closed.

He commended his men for their courage and gallantry at curbing smuggling despite constant intimidation and unprovoked attacks by dare devil smugglers. He added: “The only available source of revenue to the Command is the auction of seized petroleum products and scrap metals.

“Through this, the Command is able to generate a total of One Million, nine hundred and ninety-seven thousand five hundred Naira (N 1,997,500) in the month of August, 2021 and the cumulative Duty Paid Value of all our seizures during the month amounted to Seventy Two Million, Five Hundred and Eighty-Nine Thousand, Four Hundred and Seventy-three Naira (N 72,589,473),” Kolo said.

Deluded people. You can only hear this kind of news in the south while the north is free for all in smuggling. How many times have u heard that custom seize rice or any good in the North? But they will continue to flex their muscles in the south. May God help us, this economy is not good at all for everyone.

shocked


You see this people with their big belle.
Believe them at your own peril.

Just because they didn't settle the right people or the money they offered was not enough, they are now used as scape goats.

Rubbish.

Intentionally sabotaging the southern economy while the Northern borders are porous enough for guns importation. I wonder why Yoruba elders are not talking about this injustice.

It is not like they are importing guns like their northern brothers.

Nigerian Ladies....I wonder how you guys sleep at night knowing fully well that the food you are carrying in between your legs is not eatable due to infection & unhygienic practice. What will you take you ladies to keep your vagina sweet, fresh and appetizing? This is becoming too bad. A man will spend and take care of a girl yet the only compensation he would get is a smelling, stinking and irritating pussy. God punish you ladies there. Umu idiot.

The custom officials will share the bags of rice,cartons of frozen chicken, Clothes,bags,shoes etc 4 themselves. That is one advantage custom offials enjoy.

I salute the courage, strength, wisdom and the way the southern people are enduring this wicked government. I just pray to God to give Nigerians a good president that will have the interest of the masses at heart.
