A Smuggler operating at the Badagry-Seme border has tried to trick the operatives of the Nigeria Customs by packaging smuggled rice as dead bodies.

The leader of the mobile patrol team, Chief Superintendent of Customs, Mr. Ozah M., said the patrol team noticed the frequency with which the ambulance was patronising the international route with the said ‘dead body,’ a development they thought was becoming alarming.

The patrol team stopped the ambulance, a Volvo with number plates DV 74 EKY, for proper check.

It was discovered that the ambulance was carrying eleven bags of imported rice that was carefully arranged and wrapped as corpses, leading to the arrest of a suspected smuggler, Mr. Moses Degbogbahun, who brought in the commodity.

The management of Seme Command, however, warned that no amount of smuggling antics along Seme border route will go undetected by the eagle eyes of officers and men of the Command.

The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Taupyen Selchang, said the suspect was still undergoing investigation for possible prosecution.
