Customs Intercepts Ammunition Imported From U.S.A by Naijacitizen(m): 9:17pm On Feb 16, 2016 |
The Tin-Can Island Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has intercepted a 40 ft. container with 980 rounds of 9mm type live ammunition and a pistol imported into the country from the U.S. The spokesman of the command, Chris Osunkwo, made the disclosure in a statement on Tuesday in Lagos. According to the statement, the area controller of the command, Bashar Yusuf, said the seizure, including camouflage military face cap, camouflage belt, a pair of hand gloves and a pair of shoes, were concealed along with other personal effects in two vehicles. Mr. Yusuf said the arms and ammunition and a suspect who was arrested in connection with the seizure, had been handed over to the State Security Service, SSS, for further investigation. “A 40 ft container with number CLHU452754/2 with these items has been seized and it is with us and we are transferring them as appropriate to the relevant agency. “The items were concealed because nobody can just import these things without full authorisation to do that. “No unauthorised passenger or trader should trade in arms and ammunition all over the world. It is not allowed. “You have to go through due process; authorization with permit, before you move even one piece across the border of another country. “The suspect is with the Directorate of State Security Service for further investigation so that we will get the full details of how he came about these items as well as if there are collaborators within Nigeria or outside Nigeria. “It is within their purview to do that,” the controller said. The officer-in-charge of SSS at Tin Can Island Port, James Udo, explained the danger such importation could have on members of the public, if it had escaped customs’ attention. Mr. Udo said security must be a collective responsibility. He said the SSS would conduct further investigation on the importation to unravel those behind it. Meanwhile, the command said it generated N24.8 billion as revenue in January 2016 compared to N20.9 billion collected in the corresponding period of last year. The controller attributed the increase to improved transparency, compliance from clearing agents as well as a robust electronic system.

They should check the owner of those goods must have a pistol because 9mm are pistol rounds and imagine the damage 980 rounds will do. chai let go back to Conakry n hide under bed |

Well they should quote their figures in dollars because Naira of 2015 is not the nonsense value that it is in 2016. PS: A container of arms is no biggie ... there's a private market for it. 6 Likes |
