Extortion has to be stopped ,milking innocent people of the little they have draws a curse

Sometimes i feel the days of the wild wild west should have been today, its a shame the way uniformed personell works, where in the world have anyone heard of custom road block on an interstate freeway or do we need custom duty to drive from Lagos to Ibadan na wa o for this Nija.
To tell you how bad it is i was once asked along this same road for a prove of ownership for my 1999 BMW after nothing was found wrong with my papers, for a car i bought brand new.Its totally crazy.
Please can anyone furnish us with the present custom duties for vehicle brand so those buying and bringing in car will know what is expected of them to avoid the embarrassments of these over zealous officers.

I believe d controller has been retired ans arrested too.What do we do now?

d guy is cooling his heels in jail,read d papers,we need to get to the new comptoller

Any body in the house who knows the new comptroller?

@Poster,
That is the new method presumed by the Nigerian Customs now. They would tell you that the amount you pay into the bank is too small. you know the message i give to them and i expect you to give to them. Are you the Custom Officers that accepted it there and issued you your paper. As long as your paper is Embosed and signed to be released. Don't let those custom extort you, but one has no option than to give out OFficer on Duty to them. I just hope the Government would get something to do about this soon.

The only issue there is that you don't won't to argue with these guys or else they'll just cut short somebody's life. My children never enjoy me well,well o !

nobody fit help us out?

[color=#990000]Hey guys,I don't really know how true this is: I heard The President has ordered the Customs not to mount road blocks in non-border cities anymore. Pls anybody could just follow this up and let's know how true it is.

Good morning all
Just stumbled on this thread today.
Those custom guys are still on the prowl 'like lions seeking for whom to devour'
Are they still allowed on d express?
Thanks

They are allowed anywhere the deem.

Those guys are roags! They held me, seized my car at that Lagos/Ibadan road. I had to go back to lagos to bring my custom papers, they sighted it and started arguing, some say its genuine other said its not. I personally dont do clearing all i do i go to a car stand and buy my car. The moved all the cars they seized to their office in lagos but could not move mine cos of the security lock (the car refused to start). Some days later i saw one of them after RCCG, his car broked down, he qiuckly flagged me and asked that i should forget about last week, that i should please help him go to that same spot to tell them that his car has broken down. What a shameless being! (I actually did as he pleaded to)

^^^^^

and lets assume the duty on the paper is an under-payment

does paying extra premium with receipt attached exempt one being harassed by these criminal in uniform

^^^^^

and what is full payment if u dnt mind

eg babyboy valued at #1,000,0000 right

and u cleared at #230,000 right

i would assume there will be other expenses that incurred within the range 230,000

so how much is meant to be written on the duty certificate??

no harm intended!!

if you need a reliable uniformed guy to transport your cars, lets talk, condition, car must be 2002 and above, have good papers and i will hook you up, cheers

oga femmy, u mean we can now import a car within 10 to 15 year now in nigeria?
pls reply.

thanks a lot mr femmy.

@@@@

thanks a lot femmy

but nna menhh biko o

does it mean then there will addition of premium u ve paid to the underpayment at the time the car was cleared by the agent to issue one duty certificate then

I drove to Kano days back to diliver a car,I met Customs at the following points
1.After Tollgate Ibadan Ife Express way
2. Akure axis
3.Just b4 Ibilo
Had to part with 500 naira at each check point
So if yur car has issues beware.
Although this country is a failed nation cant someone help us out
