Them don tag ordinary drone without camera combat drone, lol funny country

matify83:
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?

Dogalmighty17:
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.

litaninja:
There's no such thing as a license to import hobby model aircraft.
Cars are also weaponized to carry ammunition and personnel by bandits in the northern region of nigeria. IS THERE A LICENSE TO IMPORT CARS?

nedekid:
Ordinary drone ohh. Something you can easily buy on aliexpress for different use. When it comes to naija, you see a whole press conference.
That was how few years ago a whole minister came to embarrass himself doing press conference over pyrotechnics for events. Another one raised press conference over paint ball guns.

tunde1200:
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

Most of you will never see anything good in Nigeria. Always condemning everything. How do you know that, they have swapped the notes? You dey there? Abi, na you get the money?

Richtaiwo:
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.

CaptainFM1:


You are talking as if you don't know Nigeria is where monkeys and snake swallows monies.

Stargangz:
It will be released and nothing will happen after this display, na eye service this customs people dey do. Money will soon exchange hands and that's the end. Customs is the most corrupt uniformed organisation in the country.

Presenting the drones, the Comptroller, NCS, Federal Capital Territory Command, Suleiman Bomoi, said the drones were intercepted and seized at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja for lack of End User certificates.

He said the End User Certificate which is issued by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) was a requirement for purchase and import of the drones and other security items into the country.

MrProlific95:
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

RenaissanceGuy:
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 ??

This is so shameful. This is a simple hexacopter with moderate payload that can be bought online without any documentation. View the link below for options:

Talking about 70 hours flight time? Today I don't think there's any rotor based drone that can do over 1 hour flight time. We are just too shameful as a country, haba!!!
