Men of the Nigerian Customs, Kwara state command have been accused of carrying out unlawful arrest, detention and seizure of rice believed to be locally produced from a warehouse in Ilorin.

The accusation led to a protest by the chairman of Mount Olive Nigeria Ltd and his staff at the popular Oja Tuntun market on Thursday in Ilorin.

Speaking during the protest, chairman of Mount Olive Nigeria Ltd, Pharm. Ademola Adebola Julius, said in the last four years he has been supporting the cause of manufacturing local rice to grow the economy but unfortunately men of the Nigerian Customs have been threatening his business.

According to him, “Men of the Nigerian Customs Services came to my warehouse around 2am in the night, broke my door, tied my security man down and carted away my rice. 704 bags of Nigerian rice.

I have over ten trailers of the rice inside my warehouse that are purely Nigerian rice. “Ask any producer of rice in Nigeria, Mount Olive Nigeria Ltd, have been supporting them because I am the distributor of Nigerian rice in the whole South West and Nigerian Customs just came to frustrate me.

“I have 480 staff under me. I don’t know what they want from me. I pay my tax regularly. If they are saying I’m not doing my business in the orderly way, what is the orderly way they want me to follow?.”

Julius however said, “I have reported to the police. Customs men attacked my company unlawfully and that is why I’m protesting with all my staff for Nigeria government to come to my aid.

“They said I should come and see the AGC and when I got to their office they said he was not around. Three of my staff were locked up and they collected N50,000 from me before they were released. One of my friends who also came was locked up.”

While calling on the federal government to intervene, he demanded for the unconditional release of his 704 bags of rice.

“Nigerian Customs Service, Kwara state command should release all my rice unconditionally. Presidency should look into the matter. I have branches all over the country, my company is in 23 locations across the country they should come and investigate. We are ready to cooperate with whoever want to come and investigate us.”

"When I got to Olam farm in Nasarawa state in 2014, I was surprised with what I saw there and I resolved in my mind to support Nigerian rice because it will assist in tackling the issue of unemployment in the country. But here I am been frustrated by the men of Nigerian Customs. They should stop frustrating legitimate business owner like me,” he said.

Poor foundations, weak walls coupled with the weight of the roof.

Expect to see more buildings with tiled roofs collapsing!

Our construction techniques and methodology need to be updated in line with the materials we currently use.

If the building had a zinc roof it wouldn't have collapsed.

I feel you bro, the engineer made a costly mistake or the owner had no plan to raise it that tall from the onset couple with the fact that the direction looks windy, if the second building has the same plan then it won't last 10 yrs

“The media is powerful and moreso is the social media. If someone tells you it is raining and the other person says it is not. What you should do is go and check if it is raining and not necessarily report both,” Osinbajo said.

The Vice President added: “I am a firm believer in the freedom of press, whether it is responsible press or irresponsible press. What is often lacking though is the deliberate or advertent lack of curiosity about facts.

“See the issue on the President’s WAEC certificate, one would have thought that a simple investigation by the media houses would establish the truth or falsehood of the matter. With the ubiquity and anonymity of social media, everyday problems of a free press are becoming complex.

“There was a video of an occurrence in India showing some people jumping out of a burning high-rise building in May. This provocative and FAKE video had a woman cursing the President and I, our families and generations, Osinbajo said.

The Vice President also found enough time to say “I am thankful for the help and support we get everyday from the press and to say for good or for ill, at all times, whether you report nicely or not so nicely, we will always be friends and partners.”

Dude I stay in South Africa don't argue with me.. South Africans were the one arrested.

OK, I believe you, perhaps I was referring to a different footage. Hope they prosecute them.

realestniggah:
Get your fact right people have also been arrested in South Africa for looting not just nigeria

Those arrested are Nigerians processing for deportation.

Throwback to one of favourite Robert Mugabe Speech ....We are not Europeans... So Blair keep your England and I will keep my Zimbabwe...

The footage shows a scenario that initially look like a play in what look like a friendly whip but things fell apart within second and caught peoples attention to separate the face off between the 2 ancestors.

Watch the 45sec footage.

This is a video of an eye witness who was at the venue of where the cause of the recent Xenophobic attack broke out. According to the men, it was a Tanzania who shot a taxi driver and not a Nigerian but the South Africans went after Nigerians and their businesses because of the bad names that has been attributed to the country! It is like giving a cat a bad name just to hang it.

Hear them speak!

Drama as Yahoo boys rounded up and arrested by their oyinbo maga who came ready.

How did we get ourselves here? Slap rains off and on camera as Oyinbo maga rounded up Yahoo Boys who came alongside security men as they burst a group of yahoo boy at the comfort of their home. The white woman confronted the men with some pictures and evidence as they look in awry, unable to believe their predicament!

see as dem put chains for their bum bum like monkey.... omo!

This is a dicey situation but for the sake of the nation, you have to be diplomatic by getting them an attorney band get briefing on their individual cases pertaining to each! we all saw how buhari played down the Ganduje video. I'm not saying the FG should throw her weight behind the fraudsters but be available to cover their proceedings, scam is scam but the height differs, some may just be fresher's and might get the same sentence with the veterans in the game.

I can feel the dude's pain
