The Nigeria Customs Service Federal Operations Unit Zone C Owerri destroyed 4118 cartons of frozen poultry with duty paid value of N83,389,500 yesterday at the Abia/Command in Owerri.

Comptroller Amajam Bukar, the Controller Federal Operations Unit Zone C Owerri said the seizure of the poultry products which was transported in a 1X40ft container, was achieved through a tip off from an informant to operatives of the Nigeria Customs Service Federal Operations Unit Zone C Owerri. The Unit with the aid of partner security agencies including the National Agency for Food Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and the Nigeria Police Force, was able to secure the container and its contents and destroy it in line with government directives.

I don't think so, the custom people just want to destroy an igbo person business as usual. Where were they when the container passed through their nose.

How did a 40ft container pass through our border with the custom people knowing. The trick is, wait until it gets to the final destination and destroy it.

Why are they covering their nose now? Yeye people

Waste of resources, energy and investments ,instead of destroying it why can't be taken to IDP camp or use as animals feeds for pig farmers.. Most of government official don't know how to make money but how to waste on a poor egoism...
