bulletproofmonk: ASSUMING they did not pay duties, are the customs INVESTIGATION people not supposed to verify that quietly and then FINE them with a deadline for payment Is that not the LAWFUL, systematic thing to do such that genuine business people are not scared away? Most of us are (un)consciously looking for FREEBIES that someone else worked for (apart from the taxes, duties, levies, fees and fines they are legally required to pay for doing business) by praising the seizure of these items in the hope they will be sold at GIVE-AWAY prices to us by the government agencies. It may happen and go well INITIALLY but since government is NOT producing these things in ABUNDANCE it cannot be sustained and will create more SCARCITY and pains for all of us down the line.

bulletproofmonk: Some of you are so blindfolded that you don't see anything wrong in Buhari. If federal agents give you urine to drink as Lacacera or poo to eat as cake you will gladly take hence it is from Buhari. Whatever is wrong is wrong. Did the customs complain that they were into hoarding? It was alleged to be smuggled. Argue on that line, instead you are deviating from the truth. What stopped the authority from going there at the day time? Even if they truly smuggled, the Customs authority aided it. Call a spade a spade and let's correct some anomalies pls. 1 Like |

Is this the boko haram we asked them to kill for us.... We are back to military juntas, even if the goods is contraband that's not enought reason to invade people shop's in the middle of ungodly hour and carted away with goods worth millions of naira, this is conspiracy theory, may be baba go slow want to use that rice and juice do xmas for his pikin inside sambisa forest.... Had it been boko haram are only killing top government officials and security agents... I strongly believe 2/3 of Nigeria youth will gladly going to join them in there uprising...make them pray boko haram no capitalize on my advise and stop killing civilians, Stupid them, aboki's are fighting for 75virgins not for liberation of the poor masses.... |

The containers and bags of rice would have codes written on them that can indicate if truly those bags of rice were smuggled or not.The traders should also provide customs duty or clearance to prove their case.However,why were the smugglers not caught at the borders at the time they were bypassing the illegal routes?I think custom officials are to blame because they might have been compromised. |

bulletproofmonk: Benin repulblic is a very far location from mile 2 and we have over 20custom check points from seme to mile 2 via lagos badagry road and over 10 custom point from idi iroko border tto mile 2. If im in the position of autthority,all the officers involved will be arrested and whoever gave them that order will be sacked. Whatever reasons these officers have to invade the shops of innocent citizens behind their back to cart away such magnitude of products is non and void. If they fail to do their work in their check points why must they come to people s shops at midnight. This is very gross. I can imagine what these innocent hustlers are going through right now. 1 Like |

Customs and excise management act (CEMA) CAP C 45 law of the federal republic of Nigeria give customs the right to break into any building/warehouse where smuggled goods are kept without warrant or pre -notice. It has been going on since even in the last administrations but since APC came into power by lies and propaganda, let it be use against them because propaganda have come to stay!!! |

Its now an economic war. Gradually families are being impoverished and no one is talking. The ripple effect will soon be seen only for those yet to be affected to open their bucal orifice to condemn the children of these traders. Why come in the midnight to cart away the goods? What proof do they have that they were smuggled in when you don't confront them first during the day time? This is part of the reason why I hate Nigeria. The masses are just slaves. They have no single right in a country that is meant to be theirs. Are those products contraband? NO! WHY WHY WHY? No one will ask what happens to rice afterwards. Will they be destroyed, consumed by the custom officials or sold to consumers? Wicked and evil human beings. Death to this Nigeria. |

sainty2k3: @sainty2k3 u are closer and I dont comment mostly on nairaland but Really, its funny when people comment badly on what they know nothing about! Supporting wrongly, Have u find out the course of the raid? Have u ever being to Seme to see d procedures, did u know if they even paid anything? As am typing we have more than 10 trucks of rice not yet released in my office @ Seme border with each carrying 1200 bags as against 600 bags standard for a truck of 30 tons. Even @ dat Correct duty was not paid on d 600bags dats official. Our biz people always like to cut conners, not obeying simple rules cos they want to make more money @ all cost. They will comply with Benin govt. Rule n paid but will like to come in to naija to cheat d govt n d masses dat buys the rice. The truth is dat govt officials knows them n the era of order or waiver from above has gone,time of impunity had gone, let's do things in d right way. Social media shld not praise or sympathize evil doers, let's d law take it course. After all when trucks of arms n armunition were led in to d country last year by some people we were told order 4rm above not allow4 checking, diplomatic, but today d story has changed, dasuki case has linked with it. OK OK we are watching since we don't have a say @ our level. Pple pls let's start doing d right thing even if it your father, tell him to follow due process. God bless naija 1 Like |

phemray: Please spare us these rethorics and lets face it...if customs officers do their jobs very well,there will be no reason for breaking into shops. I was a clearing agent for years and i know what goes on. Sharp practises are the order of the day and that is no longer new..the point is that inasmuch as we have several custom patrols and checkpoints on the road to checkmate this smuggling,why would they break into shops without due diligence on whether those items came in legitimately..thats the point. If we bring in cars and any officers suspect a foul play they ask questions and demand for specific documents but this was never the case. lets face it,the act was very demeaning and a dent to their fundamental human right and must be discouraged. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Love Machine: We are now in the JUNGLE where justice by lynching instead of a systematic application of the law. By the end of this month they would have seized all the available rice and those traders won't sell anymore so will Buhari import more rice by himself using the depleted national cake aka Niger Delta oil revenue that he has not stabilised as earlier promised Daft!

[quote author=Droyal post=40737319]Hmm our rice seller also complained of the same but this was at Iyana-era garage rice stores just before Fed govt college Ijanikin. They(soldiers and custom officials) came in the mid night broke the stores open, collected the phones of the vigilante and the boys that sleep in the garage and loooted massively. She said she lost about 1million naira worth of rice and vegetable oil. The poor woman was very sad while narrating the story. She said its contribution money. After the first raid they(the sellers) now decided to hide at one of the shops at the other side of the express(where tippers park) around past 12am they came again she said they came with big guns and a truck and they were using a big plier like object to break into the shops(which are mostly all those fabricated containers) she said they couldn't even come out to challenge them because they were scared being hurt by them but she confirmed that they were customs and soldiers and there was no one to report to. But why come in the midnight? Is it not the customs officials that allow the rice cross the border in the first place [/quote Most of the smuggling usually takes place at night. infact I will appreciates all ds security operative to extend thr operation to mile two shopping center cos dey do disturb d residents at night wen dey r off loading. we need to stop defending some ppl outcry wen we dnt no much about d offence as they wil never say d truth about thr dirty job. I stay in dat area and I ve been for smth like ds happen even in sango in ogun state, the rate of smuggling thr is extra ordinary. may God help we d youth to know d truth |

WELCOME BACK TO 9JA OF 31ST DEC.1983 TO 25TH AUG.1985 !!! Nigerians are welcome back to era of obnoxious law & impunity of the highest order. Am not suprise because more policies are still coming & u can not get better judgment in law court against govt. As soon as NASS passes anti social media law, u cannot criticize govt again except praising the even if they are wrong. The myopic & gullible ones are saying that govt is sanitising but when it reaches their turn,they'll sing a new song.Shame on all those who voted a coupist as president & call him a liberator. Some fools say he is trying to mend rot of PDP's 16 years as if nigeria was better before. How many phone lines we av before, how many universities & schools, road network was increased, houses & infrastructures. Apart from bad policies buhari has nothing to offer except to continue gej agenda, thats why Fashola said at his ministry, its continuation; of 182 federal roads, electricity power plant projects, mass housing.9ja fell to APC's lies & propaganda! |
