Nigerian Customs Intercepts Trucks Smuggling Food Items To Niger Republic Despite Hunger, Inflation Nationwide

The NCS also seized a consignment of sex enhancement drugs worth N19.6million duty-paid value in Sokoto State.
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has that its operatives intercepted trucks that were carrying food items at Kajji community on the Sokoto-Kebbi road heading to the Niger Republic through the Kebbi border.

The NCS also seized a consignment of sex enhancement drugs worth N19.6million duty-paid value in Sokoto State.

The Coordinating Comptroller, Mr. Kolapo Oladeji, who disclosed this at a media briefing in Sokoto on Friday, said the seizure was carried out by joint border patrol team, sector IV.

 

Oladeji stated that despite the scarcity of food items leading to high costs of living, Nigerians were still smuggling food to other countries.

 

“We will leave no stone unturned to block food smuggling out of the country because of the current situation in the country.

 

“We all know that prices of food items have skyrocketed because of the activities of some Nigerians. Our people are hungry, but they prefer to take the food to other countries despite the border closures imposed by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).”

 

While warning that the service would continue to trail smugglers, and block their routes, he insisted that anyone caught would face the full wrath of the law.
