cheesy

I don't think the intention of the importer is to use it for weaponry. It could be for other legitimate use. No sensible person would import such weapon in a whole form.

But if it is a weapon here is what they could have done;

If importers were smart, they would have dismantled the drone and send them in parts bits by bits.

Some reports can be very irritating. You intercepted some contraband and just gave some skeletal description of what the law says about such importation and failed to give the slimmest explanation of the suspected importer. The next rubbish is to start telling us how much you generate. I opened this thread to get the details of the seized items, not what you generate that has almost no effect on me.

Don't you see how they all surrounded it to take pictures for the media, local people.

That small UAV is capable of sending those bandit terrorising Parts of Ondo to hell. I think Amotekun should through the Governor get the End User Certificate to acquire things like this for better surveillance of the forest
the drones will end up in the hands of terrorists instead. And the reverse will be the case...

The part I found difficult to believe is "$10,000 counterfeit notes".

Is it not my country again? This authorities have swapped the original notes sharp sharp. Na wa oooo!

Everything they intercepted are real and original except the $10,000 notes. Something is just not right there nau.

Nigeria is a comic relief sometimes. You're not even ashamed mentioning the seizure of a single 5kg drone in this 2023?? If Nigeria was a functioning country, we'll be a net exporter of military equipment including drones to Africa. What's drone that one can even manufacture in one's backyard for goodness sake ??

Please ask them o

You can lie o. This is a multipurpose drone. In this case, used for smuggling. Not a combat anything

Some people may want to chestbeat with the confiscated drones as part of their preparations to bring down the "zoo" ! Empty loudmouthed fools from the pit of hell !

They never mention the merchants of doom importing weapons, likely because it's their own bosses or people connected to them.

It's like the buyer, shipper, and receiver don't exist.

You'd think those items ship themselves to no one.

A drone of 5kg weight with 70 hours of flight time and ports for munitions is definitely a security risk to any country.

The question begging for answer is can such drone be bought off the shelves even in developed countries?

These drones can't fly for 7 hours, talk more of 70 hours.

Who imported this deadly drone into the country?
And if many have entered our borders what is their motive?
Lots of answers are needed or else we are in trouble

Who knows if this is not the only one? Many of these drones might have probably found their way into the country.
We will soon hear that Boko Haram or the bandit use this drone in their attacks.

Who came to claim the good before you find out it was even a combat drone. I think that's what many of us are interested to know not how much you generated in past year

Why don't the owner use the drones to fly in the hardware's as it's done in Hollywood?

Amotekun what?

A country where regions establish a militia to ward off or kill off undesirable, or terrorist elements, from another region of the same country; such a country is not supposed to be one country. It's supposed to do the right thing - break up into smaller manageable countries.
By the way, Amotekun is unconstitutional in Nigeria.

Some sections of Nigeria have continued to allow cheap cash from crude oil in the Niger delta region deny them the truth that Nigeria is not supposed to remain one country. Europeans would have divided Nigeria into many new countries if Nigeria is in Europe.

Who imported the drone? These customs guys are more than useless. If you are seizing a drone then you should also have an arrested suspect.
The NSA will never approve license for any individual to import these kind of drones yet someone went ahead and imported it.

These drones are very deadly as Russia is finding out in Ukraine. Who is the person that imported it? For what purpose? These are questions worth asking but the useless dumb customs can do nothing properly.


You have jumped into conclusion. They will investigate and the importer will be arrested.

That's exactly how saboteurs creeps into Nigeria's security systems, government will tell us that they know the sponsors of terror in the country yet they won't publicize their names or apprehend them. This country is in mess when it comes to security and economy

What I'm seeing look more like a toy drone for taking pictures, video, in general area surveillance. Military drones don't look this?
