Dear Customer

Please note that clearing has been placed on hold in Lagos as there’s an ongoing issue between the clearing agents and the customs that led to a riot and shoot out yesterday.

There is a delay in clearing of our shipments due to this incident cause the cargo terminal has been shot down; unfortunately this is beyond our control. We will update you as the situation unfolds.

Thank you for your business and patience on this delay.

Please see the link below, regarding the situation at cargo terminal in Lagos.

Customs, cargo agents in free-for-all at Lagos airport

By News Express on 20/11/2014


Personnel of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and the Association of Nigeria Licenced Custom Agents (ANLCA) engaged in a free-for-all at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos yesterday, leaving two cargo agents injured.

It was gathered that the trouble broke out when the Customs Area Comptroller at the airport command visited the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company’s (NAHCO) warehouse, where the agents operate.

The comptroller was alleged to have been stoned and roughly pushed out of the warehouse by the agents, because they said he came at the break time.

Four Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) and about eight customs patrol pick-up were drafted to the scene of the incident, after which there was sporadic shooting and teargassing by the customs men.

Public Relations Officer of ANCLA, Mr Emmanuel Njoku, however, refused to speak to newsmen on the issue, saying he was having his lunch.

But a senior official of customs, who pleaded anonymity, admitted that their officers were beaten up by the agents.

The senior official said the customs has given a directive that agents should not come to the bulk area except their men and the NAHCO officials.

The cargo agents, he said, however, declined the directive.

Following the crisis, it was gathered that the bulk breaking area of the NAHCO warehouse would be closed temporarily till normalcy returns.

Dear All,

This is to inform you all that riot broke down this afternoon between
Clearing Agents and Customs Area Controller over exhorbitant clearing
Charges.

Right now, NO clearing activity is taking place untill further notice.

We will keep you posted.

Thanks,

bigtt76:
I hope the fracas at NACOH yesterday would not affect your company's clearing of goods?

Of cause it affects everybody!!

cococandy:
mehnnnnnn

Dinner time

UPDATE!!!


The doctor said they are giving him therapeutic treatment for now because of the fluid in him. This is to see how the body will react(if the body will correct itself). This will go in for 5-7 days. If this does not happen then a biopsy will be done to see what's wrong.

The protein electro-phoresis (or Serum) test was done to see the extent of the kidneys function but this cannot be done at once. It has to be done in stages which is why it is taking so long to get the results.


TeHN

UPDATE!!!!

07:40am - The doctors came to check him during the night. He is still stable.

I am with him right now and he is conversing well.

He says thanks to everyone and keep praying for him.

Hopefully, we will have a fuller update soon.

[size=28pt]In summary [/size]

We are looking at an amount above N7 million for a trip to India
So let's bear that in mind as we raise funds
We have a lot of work ahead of us

r231 please make sure the lab results and other tests you send me will include a doctor's summary

so this option is actually available

babyosisi:
I know
My email is not sending email so I have no other way to send it
Moreover the public needs to have a fair idea of cost,they are the donors

But the results are not even out yet!

babyosisi:
The thing has weakened me wallahi!

As soon as i get the blood work,i will send it and also call this doctor on the phone and beg her woman to woman to see if they can reduce the amount for us.
I am confident the amount will come down a little
Going by that response,the kidney if it requires a transplant will be an additional cost
I am a little discouraged here but we must go on.
I hope we can have someone with deep pockets to help us out here
.

From $42k reduce to what exactly.....

na prayer sure pass

UPDATE!!!!!

11:40am - off to surulere for the test.

This is how you start monday morning.

Nice Ogi on point!
