This people are aggressive this days. Ali is definitely doing his best. The goods should be used to feed the less privileged (IDPs).

How about if it's not good to consume?

You think a Nigerian will buy goods worth of #10M that are not good to consume? It may not meet Nigeria standard and still consumable. Beside, if the goods were not seized, u may be part of those that will buy them and consume.

the food has not gone through proper inspection we don't know where they come from but you want us to kill it to people because there are just IDPs. The government must and is providing food to IDP is just tgat some are diverting it

But the foreign rice you and I eat everyday are said to have lasted beyond storage period, the chicken, turkey etc you buy and eat are imported by same people. Who knows if you and I were going to buy from the this if not intercepted.

Why destroy am when Nigeria has need for Famine relief and aide to IDP?
I beg, that seizure can be diverted into government projects such as charity to devastated regions of the country.
Nigeria can plan better than to waste food like that when people still die of hunger in this world today.
When did they burn seized illegal Cash?
They keep illegal cash and divert it to where it is needed. And why would they not keep the food that people give their cash away to have for survival?
The food is more important to life than cash, i have never seen anyone eat cash or live inside a house made out of cash or drive a vehicle made of cash.
The real value items that support life are destroyed and cash is kept safe and treasured.
You cannot drink or eat money Oooo.
If only cash remain in this world, we will all die of thrist and hunger.
If cash goes extinct and only food and water reamain, we will live on and hope will rise.
I beg, priorities are an issue here.

it's obvious you don't understand what I mean by "Nigeria standard". have heard of plastic rice killing anybody anywhere in the world? The fact that food is not accepted in Nigeria doesn't mean it kills. How about the recent judgment against NBC (don't take fanta&sprite with vitamin C)? meanwhile, it is not so with UK's fanta and sprite

Officers of the Nigeria Customs Service, Ogun state, on Tuesday 4th April 2017, seized a refrigerated Iveco truck conveying contraband goods into the Country.

Politics Nigeria learnt that the items discovered in the intercepted truck were; seven hundred and twenty two (722) cartons of imported frozen fish comprising of soley fish, senrei fish of which they fall under water pelagic fishes (open-sea fishes), fifty-six (56) bags of imported rice of 50kg.

The goods, in summary, have a Duty Paid Value (DPV) of Ten Million Five Hundred and Seventy-Three Thousand Naira (N10, 573, 000.00).

Briefing the press on the success of the interception, the Area Controller, Comptroller Gangua said, it is pertinent to note that frozen fish has recently come under regulated product in Nigeria with vivid guidelines which every fish importer must fulfil before he or she can embark on an importation of such.

“For the avoidance of doubt, apart from fulfilling all import guidelines, there must be a fishing license/permit from Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development by importing company and such importation must be subjected to National Agency for Food Administration and Control (NAFDAC) inspection/certification among others.

Pursuant to the Federal Government Policy on fish importation, the Nigeria Customs Service is working assiduously at ensuring that our dear country is not turning into a dumping ground for not only fish but other restricted items.

On contravention of the aforementioned rules and guidelines as contained in the government policies and extant circulars, the goods have been seized and the frozen fish will be destroyed accordingly.

I will like to seize this opportunity to reiterate my appeal to the traditional rulers and eminent personalities in the state to deploy all necessary mechanism in discouraging the activities of their wards that indulge in smuggling. We believe that patriotism entails sacrifice and devoted service to our beloved nation”.

A suspect by name Mr Seseh Idowu a native of Benin Republic has been apprehended in connection with the seizure and he is helping the Command with some useful information.
