The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has summoned 12 personnel to its headquarters in Abuja for interrogation over their alleged role in the smuggling of refined petroleum products, especially the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise called petrol, to Cameroon, Chad, Niger Republic and other African countries.

According to the letter dated June 8, obtained by SaharaReporters and titled, “Invitation to report at Customs Police Headquarters” the NCS said, “Sequel to an ongoing investigation directed by the CGC, the under-listed officers are requested to report at the CPU Headquarters on the 13th of June by 1100hours unfailingly.”

I don't understand, because this seems not to appeal to simple logic.

One of the reasons for removing subsidy is that the subsidised products were smuggled out to neighbouring countries and sold at competitive prices.

By implication, the unsubsidised products are now at competitive prices. Why will anyone then take the risk of smuggling them out only to sell at same price?

Is it that I'm not getting the whole concept or something?

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

HE'S INTERROGATING THEM FOR NOT ONLY ALLOWING SMUGGLING OF OUR SUBSIDIZED OIL BUT ALSO BEING A PART OF IT.

HE WANTS SOME HEADS TO ROLL FOR MANY YEARS OF ECONOMIC SABOTAGE.

LeoDeKing:

If you have brain as your comment implies, you would have made even a single explanatory statement which is expected to be contrary to the comment you quoted rather than screaming "is for those who have brain".

Kukutenla:

Apologies sir. It's a case of stray bullet
The moniker is one of the dogs your party deployed to insult, denigrate and bully anyone who says anything contrary to praise for the Leader

LeoDeKing:

Okay, thanks for the head up.

You really doing a great job memorising over 2 million monikers on nairaland and their respective political leanings.

How much are you being paid for this job? Honestly, your task is a great one. I hope Peter Obi gives you a sizeable cut when he is done with his deception.

Shalaye
If you were only half smart and not used ipob to decimate your iq, you'll know the way that moniker attacked you is reminiscent of how APC rats attack monikers who say anything they deem antagonistic to their paymasters.
But you won't know because you're used to doing the attacking as well.
Apologies once more. Na stray bullet

Okay.

But I repeat, well done for the great task of memorising monikers. It may interest you I was never aware that you exist until you pushed yourself to my attention.

I'm also replying this message without bothering myself with the username. Keep it up, it may pay off one day.

Finally, bye.

It is an ongoing investigation. They were accused of the crime during the subsidy regime. The smuggling happened before subsidy was removed.
