Customs Intercepts Vehicles Conveying 56,750 Live Ammunition



IBADAN — FEW hours after the Oyo State Police Command arrested a man with 3,500 live cartridges, the Oyo/Osun Area Command of Nigeria Customs Service also impounded a vehicle loaded with 56,750 rounds of ammunition at Saki in Oke Ogun area of Oyo State.

The Customs Area Controller, Mr Richard Oteri, said the vehicle conveying the ammunition was arrested along the Igboho road in Saki.

Disclosing that the contraband was concealed in bags packed with dried cassava tubers, he appealed to royal fathers and community leaders to sensitize their subjects on the dangers of smuggling especially in the light of serious security challenges in the country.

He said the command generated more than N4.5 billion in the first quarter of this year.

The breakdown showed thatN49,726,393 was made from revenue collected on vehicles between January and April this year.

Oteri further explained that 2,716 bags of rice, 28 fairly used assorted cars and SUVs, 2,500 cartons of frozen product, a lorry loaded with 700 cartons of foreign shoes, a bus loaded with textile materials and 521 used tyres concealed with 600 bags of animal feeds in a trailer were seized by his command.

Oteri later handed over the ammunition to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Operations, Oyo State Police Command, Musa Kimo.

Kimo, while receiving the ammunition said “we shall not relent in ensuring adequate security”

When something is intercepted and put into news, my first impulse is that the owners couldn't comply because I know for every 1 consignment intercepted and put in the national dailies, 5 had cross successfully. Same for the oil vessel usually intercepted in the waters

What kind of country is Nigeria? So many scores to settle.

Niger Deltans said No Jonathan in 2015 means No Peace/Nigeria.

Northerners also said No Northerner As President in 2015 means No Nigeria.

So how do i defend myself when the events of Rambow (Last Blood) begins?

After telling us what he intercepted, he took the time to tell us how much his command makes. . . . . . Its like saying i graduated with a first class and i just finished drinking 8 bags of pure water. . . . So?

56,000 whot! Men, even a Gatling will turn to liquid steel going through that lot. Said it a while ago. With the vast sums of black cash spinning around our economy our judiciary will soon be totally out-manouvred and law enforcement out-gunned. Does the Compol have 56,000 rounds of ammo anywhere under his jurisdiction.
