The Oyo/Osun Area Command of Nigeria Customs Service has revealed that a Bullion Van concealing imported smuggled rice has been intercepted.

The Area Controller, Mr Tolulope Ogunkua, told newsmen in Ibadan on Tuesday, November 15, that the vehicle was intercepted in the Saki axis of Oyo state, Punch reports.

It was also revealed that some seizures were made, including 30 fairly used vehicles from different locations in the area.

Ogunkua also said that the arrests made would serve as a deterrent to recalcitrant saboteurs of the Nigeria economy.

The controller explained that he found it worrisome that some Nigerians have remained unrepentant despite the many losses they have suffered following seizures of these items but that the command remains unshaken in its determination to deal with them.

Punch reports that two persons were arrested with the bullion van and has been in their custody, to be charged to court soon.

Ogunkua added that the command had been trailing that particular bullion van which usually moved in the company of police escorts.

According to him, the command's surveillance tea exchanged gunfire with the suspects before they were finally subdued.

“You will recall that I had reiterated our resolve to increase the revenue profile of the command and to tirelessly reduce the incidence of smuggling.

“In keeping to this promise, the command initiated new anti-smuggling strategies which led to remarkable exploits evidenced in the situation on display today.”

In a similar occurrence, soldiers and customs officers » clashed at the Arena Market, Oshodi, in Lagos, during an attempt to seize six containers filled with contraband goods.

This has been my thought too o. . .

All we've been hearing and reading is about the different farms but nothing to show for it.

Then, WILL the so called local rice be CHEAPER than the amount we were buying before the "recession" period?

a bullion van of rice right now is same worth with a bullion van with cash
