The Ogun Command of the Nigeria
Customs Service (NSC) says it has
intercepted two trucks laden with
1,200 bags of rice.
Mr Ade Dosunmu, the state
Controller of NCS, made this known
in Idi-Iroko, Ogun, while addressing
newsmen.
Dosunmu said that the seizure,
which occurred at Owode-Yewa on
the Idi-Iroko border route in Yewa
South Local Government Area of
the state, followed a tip-off.
“The smugglers put up resistance as
they prevented NCS officials from
performing their official duties.
“The smugglers engaged officers
and men of the NCS in a gun duel,
forcing the latter to call for
reinforcement from the state’s
Military Task force, “Operation
Mesa.”
“Following the successful
intervention of men of the
‘’Operation Mesa,’’ the NCS officials
had to transfer about 600 bags of
rice to their 15 Hilux patrol vans
following the mechanical problems
developed by one of the affected
trucks,” Dosunmu said.
The NCS boss also advised the
residents of the area to always
engage in lawful businesses.
According to him, the economy of
Nigeria will be in jeopardy should
such illegal business continue
unchecked in the state.
