Smuggling in whatever form, has never improved any economy anywhere in the world. We complaint of lack of jobs for our population yet we lack the Patience & patriotic zeal to support our government to grow a stable & prosperous economy that will stand the test of time. Thailand's population is about sixty million people yet despite our population which is almost four times their own, we want to rely on them for every grain of rice that we consume. Even the insecurity bedevilling our our country , is traceable to the activities of smugglers through our porous borders. May Allah give us understanding & make governance easy for our leaders Amin
PoliticsKano: Customs Impounds 250 Bags Of Rice Concealed In Fuel Tanker by ManirBK(op): 7:18pm On Oct 19, 2019
The Nigerian Customs Service, Kano/Jigawa command on Friday impounded 250 bags of foreign rice concealed in a fuel tanker along Daura-Kano road, worth over N5.5m of duty paid value.
Displaying the seized tanker and the rice, the controller of the command, Comptroller Nasir Ahmed, said the new method of concealing goods by smugglers was new and challenging.

“What we saw today is a little bit new, something that is challenging to our thinking. If somebody can load rice in a compartment that is supposed to be containing diesel, petrol or kerosene, then we should assume that they can conceal anything in the tank.

“It can contain Tramadol, it can contain arms and ammunition or any other prohibited goods, and they loaded it in such a way that it will be very difficult to detect. But through intelligence and diligence of our men, they were able to perceive it,” he said.
Ahmed added that keeping rice or any other consumable in such condition has some serious health implications in addition to the security threats the new method of smuggling was posing to the nation.
He called on the general public to support and compliment the effort of the federal government by desisting from patronizing such smuggled goods and giving useful information to the relevant security agencies.https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/kano-customs-impounds-250-bags-of-rice-concealed-in-fuel-tanker.html?

PoliticsFG Says It Is Partnering The Russian Government To Revive Ajaokuta Steel Company by ManirBK(op): 12:33pm On Oct 19, 2019
The Federal Government says it is partnering the Russian government to revive Ajaokuta Steel Company.

Minister of Mines and Solid Minerals Development, Mr Olamilekan Adegbite, disclosed this at an interactive session with Senate Committee on Solid Minerals, Mines, Steel Development and Metallurgy in Abuja on Friday.

He further said that the main feature of President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to Russia next week is to discuss the reviving of the steel company.

According to the minister, the Russians have shown interest to help Nigeria revive Ajaokuta with their own money.

“They want to put Ajaokuta back and we are looking at different methods to engage them.
“Because it is almost completed, they bring in some money to finish what is there and operate it for a while; realise their investment, profit and transfer it back to Nigeria.

“I think this is the best path to revive Ajaokuta and I believe within the tenure of our time, we will achieve this,” Adegbite said.

The minister said that Ajaokuta Company was never vandalised contrary to reports but it was concessioned to a particular firm.

Adegbite, however, noted that invasion of the mining industry by foreign nationals was being encouraged by some state governments.
“A lot of effort is going on to check illegal mining in the country,” he said

Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Ms Shirley Botchwey, has urged the Nigerian Government to urgently review its decision to close its borders with Benin.
The minister said the border closure had severely affected Ghanaian traders, noting that it could lead to political tension in countries impacted by the decision.
Botchwey, who stated this during a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, in Abuja on Wednesday, was accompanied by her counterparts, Minister of Trade, Allan Kyerematen and the Acting High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mrs Iva Denoo.
She stated that truckloads of goods from Ghana had been detained at the Seme Border between Benin and Nigeria for weeks, adding that returning such to the seaports would be a major loss for Ghanaian traders.
She said, “The closure of the borders has had considerable disruptions to trade in the sub-region, with grave consequential economic effects on Ghanaian traders.”
Reacting to the call, Onyeama said that the borders were closed to protect Nigeria’s economy from smugglers, traffickers and illegal migrants.http://saharareporters.com/2019/10/16/re-open-border-benin-republic-ghana-urges-nigerian-government?fbclid=

PoliticsKano Kids’ Abduction: Igbo Community Calls For Stiffer Penalty For Culprits by ManirBK(op): 7:29pm On Oct 18, 2019
Igbo community in Kano state has condemned the alleged abduction of nine childrenaged between 2 to 10 from the state by persons believed to be of Igbo extraction.
The kids were said to have been abducted from various locations within Kano metropolis and sold for trafficking in Onitsha, Anambra state, in the southeastern part of the country.

In a statement jointly signed and issued on Wednesday by the President General, Igbo Community Development Association, Kano state chapter, Chief Ebenezer Chima and the Eze Ndigbo, Kano, Igwe Boniface Ibekwe, the Igbo leaders called for stiffer punishment for the culprits in order to serve as deterrent to others.

The community however commended the Kano state command of the Nigeria Police Force and other sister security agencies for being proactive and responsive in ensuring that the victims are rescued and reunited with their respective families.
The statement states that “We wish to condemn in strong terms the trafficking of nine children of Kano origin by some unscrupulous persons from the South East. We want to commend the police for their proactive investigation and other security agents for their synergy that led to the recovery of the victims and further recommend for very stiff penalty for the culprits to serve as deterrent to others who may be nursing such nefarious act.”
While commending the governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II for their usual understanding, the statement charged all Igbo people resident in the state to always strive to be law abiding as they carry out their legitimate businesses.
Daily Trust had reported that the Police Command in Kano last Friday reunited nine kids who were allegedly kidnapped and sold in Anambra state with their parents.https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/kano-kids-abduction-igbo-community-calls-for-stiffer-penalty-for-culprits.html?

There is no greater way to destroy relationships and this nation as a whole. It's a calamity for this nation if at 59 we have learnt nothing and still fanning the embers of hatred instead of building bridges. There is no tribe without its criminals and bad eggs in the country. Let non be condemned because of its criminal elements. Let every crime be punished according to the law.

The Coalition of Northern Groups in Nigeria has accused the eastern region of the country of working on an agenda to cripple the viability of the North debasing its human resource capital base.
In a statement by the coalition, the North accused the Presidency, local and international media of downplaying the uncovering of how some individuals from the South-East in the last 10 years had been abducting, trafficking and proselytizing Muslim children to becoming Christians, even changing their identity and language.
Recently, the Kano State Police Command said it arrested eight suspects involved in the kidnapping and trafficking of nine children.
The victims have been reunited with their relatives.
The children, aged between two and 10 years, were kidnapped from various locations within the state capital and trafficked in Anambra State.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Ahmed Iliyasu, who handed the kids to their relatives, said some of them were abducted in 2014.
Eight suspects were arrested in connection with the alleged kidnapping and trafficking of the children.
Parading the suspects at the command’s headquarters, Iliyasu said one Sagir Mohammed Bako had alerted them about the mysterious disappearance of children from neighbourhoods across the state capital.

The Coalition of Northern Groups is deeply touched by the report of nine innocent children forcefully separated from their parents and moved to eastern Nigerian towns.
We are profoundly agitated to learn that the children were also baptized with new names and forcefully converted to a religion other than the one their parents practise.
We are also moved that all the players on both removing and receiving points belong to a certain Nigerian tribe whose members are deeply entrenched in every town, city and village in northern Nigeria.
We are particularly saddened that days after the discovery of this heinous crime, no federal, state or local government, cultural, traditional, or religious group, NGO, or international organization has spoken on the matter.
We are further disturbed that even the national and international media except just a few appear to want to downplay this matter.

TravelBorders: FG Refuses Entry For 1,111 Irregular Migrants In 2 Months by ManirBK(op): 5:11pm On Oct 15, 2019
The Federal Government has refused entry for 1,111 irregular migrants in the past two months of the ongoing joint border operations just as it has removed 728 others who are already in the country. The Comptroller General of Immigration, Mohammed Babandede, at a joint briefing with Customs in Abuja, who revealed this, said that the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) had also stopped many on irregular migration since August 20 when the operation began.

He said: “Before this operation, people enter into the country in and out. But this operation has enhanced the ECOWAS rule on entry and exit of persons.

“We have refused entry for 1,111 people who do not have the right travel documents to enter Nigeria. Among the 147 people we have arrested, many are not even citizens of ECOWAS states.

“We have arrested Pakistanis and North Koreans; we have deported seven and processing deportation of the others. 728 who have entered into the country have been removed,” he explained. Coordinator of the Exercise at the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Brig. Gen. Emmanuel Aliyu Ndagi, said the operation had promoted inter-agency harmony, adding that the agencies involved had been directed to use only minimum force in the process.

The Comptroller General of Customs (CGC), Col. Hameed Ali (Rtd), who spoke on how the operation was impinging on the fundamental rights of movement, said: “When it comes to security, all other laws take a backseat. Nigeria must survive first then we can begin to consider your rights.”

Speaking on the gains, he said: “As it is in the last report, our consumption of petroleum products has reduced by 10.2 million litres which means that has been continuously been smuggled to our neighboring countries.”

He said goods worth N1.43 billion had been seized while operatives had arrested 317 suspected smugglers and 147 illegal migrants, seized 21,071 bags of foreign rice, 190 vehicles, 891 drums of petrol, 2665 can of vegetable oil, 66,000 litres tanker of vegetable oil, 133 motorcycles, 70 cans of petrol and 131 bags of fertilizer used for making explosives.

“As a result of this closure, Niger Republic has already circulated an order banning exportation of rice in any form to Nigeria,” Ali added.
