THE anti-smuggling drive of the Oyo/Osun Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service got a boost in the last one week, as a total of 853 50-kilogramme bags of imported rice and 395 25-litre jerry cans of vegetable oil were intercepted and seized.


The duty paid value of the smuggled rice was put at N14.6 million while that of the vegetable oil was N3.1 million.

This was made known to Metro by the Customs Area Controller, Emmanuel Udo-Aka, on Wednesday, at the command’s headquarters in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Speaking further, Udo-Aka, who resumed at the area command barely a month ago, said that a DAF truck loaded with some of the smuggled bags of rice was intercepted along Ife-Ibadan highway on May 15.

“Also, on May 20, two Mazda buses conveying smuggled foreign rice were also impounded along Oko-Ifon Road, Osun State.

“Just this morning (Wednesday, May 24), another four Mazda buses carrying bags of smuggled rice as well as 25-litre jerry cans of vegetable oil were intercepted along Iseyin-Oyo Road by our patrol team. However, no suspect was arrested, as the drivers and conductors abandoned their vehicles and took to their heels,” the Area Comptroller added.

He said that the Customs officials employed restraint and avoided chasing the smugglers into the midst of innocent people to avoid casualties.

“The smugglers took advantage of the recent mass deployment of officers and men in the Customs to indulge in their unwholesome activities, with the belief that we will be caught off-guard, but we were still able to put some checks and balances.

“We will continue to reiterate our stand of zero tolerance for revenue leakage and reduction of smuggling to the barest minimum, particularly by bringing saboteurs to book to face the long arm of the law,” Mr Udo-Aka said.

Saying that no country of the world had been able to stop smuggling, Udo-Aka said “we will continue to fight them and reduce their activities to the barest minimum with the help and support of all.

“The Customs boss, while urging Nigerians to respect the laws of the land, said, “we are not out to destroy people’s businesses, but to implement government policies, and we all know that the government is doing everything to encourage the cultivation of rice in the country.”

I was thinking with all the media news on rice yields in Nigeria last year and projections of having more than enough to feed the nation that nobody will be importing rice by now as it won't make business sense.
Abeg na only December Lagos-Kebbi rice dey reach maturity abi who dey see the LAKE rice for inside market to buy. Make them no sha burn those rice, they rather take it to IDP camp

They channel it to their individual shops owned by their wives,cronies and girlfriend while they will bury/burn empty cartons and bags re-bagged with sands.

If after working with customs and you are not rich, then they needed to check the witches from the person's village.

The ONLY place that you can work and turn to a billionaire in Nigeria.
