Customs seizes rice, petrol worth N3.3 billion in Lagos
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Federal Operations Unit (FOU), Zone A, Ikeja, made 144 seizures with a Duty Paid Value (DPV) of N3.3 billion in June 2021.

The Customs Area Controller, Federal Operations Unit, Zone A, Usman Bello Yahaya, disclosed this while parading the goods in Lagos yesterday, said the seizures were being smuggled into the country through unapproved routes by criminal-minded businessmen who, according to him, are hell-bent on sabotaging the nation’s economy.

Yahaya, while giving a breakdown of the seizures, said it includes 14,789 bags of 59kg rice, 727 cartons of unregistered drugs, 2,784 cartons of frozen poultry products, 28 units of smuggled used vehicles, 116,000 litres of petrol (4649 jerricans), 237 bales of second-hand clothes, six sacks of secondhand clothing, 20 cartons of Tramadol, 885 prices of used tyres, 10,400 cartons of alcohol beverages, 84 different kinds of vehicles laden with 50kg bags of rice and 5×29 ft containers of semi-processed woods.

He said 28 units of exotic cars valued at N258.61 million were also seized within the same period.

“The period under review recorded a total of 144 seizures with a Duty Paid Value of N3.3 billion.

He also revealed that 23 suspects had been arrested in connection with the seizures. Out of which, 12 have secured administrative bail, and 11 still in custody.

“From the foregoing, you will all agree that smugglers are undaunted in their nefarious activities to cripple the economy with the magnitude of the seizures showcased. With the series of seizures, one would have expected a reduction in their activities. Nevertheless, we have the capacity and capability to render smugglers in this zone miserable. Whatever is the driving force behind their activities, we will continue to make it unprofitable for them.

“We have also been having confrontations with smugglers especially in the volatile areas like To and Idiroko axis, where smuggling is considered a legitimate business. However, such confrontation will never deter our operatives from carrying out their statutory responsibility. Smugglers must desist from engaging in smuggling activities”, he added.
