The Ogun State Command 1 of the Nigeria Customs Service says it has intercepted a man in possession of N2.5m fake currency notes at Ihunbo, along the Sango-Ota-Idiroko border.

The Controller of the command, Mr Michael Agbara, said other seizures made during anti-smuggling activities included 147 kegs of Premium Motor Spirit, also known as petrol, and 40 drums of industrial alcohol, otherwise known as ethanol.

He added that the suspect said the cleric promised to reward him with N5,000 if he successfully conveyed the currency to Owode. Concerning the PMS, the Customs controller said the command’s anti-bunkering Team ‘A’, while on patrol, discovered a smuggling hideout at Iko-gate along the Idiroko Road and seized 160 jerry cans of 25 litres each filled with petrol.

Agbara added that the smugglers passed a pipe to the tanker, which they connected to a tank hidden in a cassava farm, from where the content was later transferred to jerry cans.
