LEADERSHIP recall that pilfering of cargoes at the seaports have been happening unabated at the Lagos seaports as container laden with cargoes are mostly broken into and the content plifered at night. Stakeholders have, however, attributed the resurgence of activities of wharf rats to criminals residing inside the Apapa and Tin-Can Island ports.
