Navy confiscates 3,574 bags of smuggled rice in Calabar

Naval personnel attached to the Nigerian Navy Ship Victory in Calabar, have arrested a large wooden boat laden with 3,574 bags of foreign rice worth N53.6 million smuggled from Cameroon republic.


They also arrested three suspects found in the boat that came from Cameroon and heading for Calabar. NNS Commander of NNS Victory, Commodore Julius Nwagu, said on Thursday in Calabar that the arrest was made along the Calabar waterway in the early hours of Feb. 27, when they got information about the activities of the suspected smugglers. Addressing newsmen at the NNS Victory Jetty before handing over the items and suspects to the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), Nwagu said that it took the command two and half days to offload the bags of rice from the wooden boat. “In the early hours of Feb. 27, we got information about a boat laden with rice and my patrol team arrested the boat and three suspects on board.

We brought the boat to base and offloaded the rice. “It took us two and a half days to offload the content. After counting, we got 3, 574 bags valued at N53.6million. “We will hand them over to the Nigerian Customs

Buhari, his boys and cohorts always look for the ways to make famine linger in Nigeria...making (common man food) rice to be expensive is part of their way to kill Nigeria economy.

This is politics and not crime

Some Nigerian are pathetic.

Navy?

What would be done to the said rice?

So Navy now does the job of the Customs?

How come none of them saw the smugglers in the North using bikes to smuggle rice in from Niger Republic?

Eeeeee....

Can somebody in the house tell me the primary duty of Nigerian Navy?

Where is Nigerian customs?

Of course you Navy guys and Customs can now work out a modality on how to share the bags of rice through bogus 'auction processes' and make your money.

As we all know those bags od rice MUST STILL end up in the nigerian market. Thieves in uniform.

They should continue doing their job!

See huge loss. But people go suffer this year ohhh. The way the suffering go increase ehhh, e go be like that peak milk advert. Abeg who know am, make the person help me quote am

Auntie Loveth, why you dey swear nau? Smuggling is not good for the Nigeria economy. It is an act of sabotage.

So the igbo man should be allowed to smuggle in rice just because he is igbo? Oya go carry Trump and Netanyahu poster in protest against marginalisation. Funny pipu.

from 5,000 bags to 3,574. In p-square's voice "na who you dey deceive o"
