90 Percent Of Cars In Nigeria Are Smuggled – Customs Boss, Hameed Ali by Ify05: 7:28am On Oct 04, 2019 |
The Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Col. Hameed Ali (rtd), on Thursday said 90 per cent of cars in the country were smuggled into the country by unscrupulous elements. Ali, who said this while addressing newsmen in Abuja, alleged that many vehicles on display for sale in auto shops across the country were also smuggled. He explained that the recent raids of the various car dealers’ spots in some parts of the country were to ascertain whether the vehicles were brought in genuinely or not. According to him, the country needs revenue for development, hence, it became necessary to collect duties on those smuggled vehicles. “We want to use this opportunity to ensure that cars within our borders are fully customised, which means duties are paid on them”, NAN quoted him as saying. ”We are looking for revenue from everywhere and we have these people who brought in vehicles and failed to pay duties. “What we are doing now, we are just enforcing the law, which allows us to collect revenue on behalf of Nigeria and also ensure those vehicles you and I will go and buy have genuine papers that are roadworthy. “If you meet our officers on the road and they ask for the papers, if they discover you have not paid your duties, they will seize the vehicles. “We are doing all these to save car buyers from running into trouble,” he explained. The customs boss said the organisation would continue to mount road block from time to time to stop vehicles to ensure duties were paid on cars. “The law allows us to stop you and ask for the car papers, if your papers are intact, we thank you and bless you, if it is otherwise, we will ask you to pay the duties “If we find out you are not a smuggler, you are just an innocent buyer, we will value the car and ask you to pay the required duties on the car and you will be freed,” he said.

It means the borders are too porous, so custom needs to be scrapped and another agency established because custom has failed in their duties 73 Likes |

This is so true. We need to sanitize our border efficiently. Apart from cars, many bad vices are smuggled through the border on a daily basis. He explained that the recent raids of the various car dealers’ spots in some parts of the country were to ascertain whether the vehicles were brought in genuinely or not.Some of the cars at this car dealers shop are stolen cars. The law allows us to stop you and ask for the car papers, if your papers are intact, we thank you and bless you, if it is otherwise, we will ask you to pay the dutiesThis is how it is suppose to be done. We will get there in out nation. 6 Likes 4 Shares |

You don mean it! Please who has that meme or a suitable one that suits this man's message. How can you day 90% of cars are smuggled whrn we have custom officers? This means you should sack 90% of your officers. They have shown incompetence in the display of their duties, according to you, Ali. 14 Likes |

Who allow them to enter the country in the first place? Our borders need to be monitoring. If its weapons, that is how the smuggler will carry it enter. All security agencies need to work together to achieved this. If police see smuggler they will say it not their duty and the same things happen to other security. If custom collect bribe and police arrest them or other security agencies the smuggler will stop. 2 Likes |
