NCS Deputy Comptroller-General and Coordinator of Zone ‘B’ Strike Force Team, Olorukoba Aliyu, with other customs officers at the Katsina State Command of the service on November 24, 2020.The Nigerian Customs Service has seized contrabands with a duty paid value of over N139 million in about six weeks.
NCS Deputy Comptroller-General and Coordinator of Zone ‘B’ Strike Force Team, Olorukoba Aliyu, disclosed this to reporters on Tuesday at a press briefing held at the Katsina State Command of the service. He noted that the items impounded between October 11 and November 20 include bags of foreign parboiled rice, vehicles, sacks of fairly used clothes, and kegs of vegetable oil, parcels of Cannabis Sativa, and kegs of petrol among others.
Aliyu decried the effect of the activities of smugglers on the nation’s economy, saying smuggling has deprived many youths of the opportunity to be gainfully employed. According to him, bringing fairly used clothes into the country will not only affect operations of the local textile industries but the entire country’s revenue generation.
Flood the market.. Crash the price of goods...
PLEASE DO NOT SET FIRE TO THE RICE!!!
All these ones. Their own case is another thing to ponder entirely
Nigeria is a country where criminals and heartless men are in power.
YEA WE KNOW,,,THEN THE'LL SHARE THEM AMONG THEMSELVES
So what do they now want to do with it, burn it abi? When people are suffering, so they can't just share this items out not the petrol sha
Why are they disurbing the borders around Lagos and Ogun? The northern borders were never closed and things come in and out of there without been checked. This country is ethnically ruled in a bad way.
This are peoples hard earned money give it back to them foreign rice is not contraband its cheaper than Nigerian rice normally ...you people are using greed to destroy the economy and increase poverty
Nigeria don cast,nobody even trust the government on anything. Going through comments here,everybody believes the seized goods will either be share among customs or they resell. Most people in power in Nigeria needs to be buried alive smh
Later this rice will be distributed to the North secretly. These are Igbo business, after payment to clear their goods, the same customs will mount road blocks on the highway to cease their goods the second time and this time around the bill will be so high that d owner lets go

Nigeria needs to hire someone from the US or Uk or EU to be our President just as we hire coaches to coach our sportpersons. This country can't remain perpetually underdeveloped or developing.
Wickedness
Customs-LA-customs

They already secured Rice for Christmas Petrol and those contraband goods for their families
The government should stop deceiving itself on the issue of border closure, smuggling is still going on the only thing it has achieved is that it makes life more difficult for ordinary Nigerians who are in the majority,my appeal to government is to reopen the border to ease pain
