Two men have been arrested by officers of the Nigeria Customs Service on Wednesday after three consignments containing 140 species of snakes and 660 other animals imported into Nigeria from Cameroon were intercepted. According to reports, the containers were brought in aboard a Cameroonian vessel tagged ‘MV Flesh’ through the Calabar waterway to the National Inland Waterways Authority jetty in Calabar, Cross River State.

The other animals which were identified as geckos, millipedes, hairy frogs and spiders, were said to be worth N6.9m.

Customs Area Comptroller in charge of Calabar Free Trade Zone, Cross River and Akwa Ibom Command, Mrs. Nanbyen Burromvyat, said the consignments were intercepted by vigilant officers on July 24 on arrival at the NIWA jetty.

She said that the consignments, which were Lagos-bound, are prohibited items under the Schedule 3 of the Revised Import Prohibition List (Trade) in the Common External Tariff.

Without opening the containers for possible fear of escape, Burromvyat immediately handed over the items and the two suspects arrested to authorities of the Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine Services for further investigations.

Snake importation kwa

Why arresting them??

Lala busted

That person is lala's fan.

Imagine just because of lala this man smuggled different species of snake into this country

I am confused here.

I'm sure lalasticlala won't be happy his friends are being smuggled.

God of lalasticlala arrested him

Show them the customs duty paper and pass

Lala! your game is over

What are the snakes for Biko??

Anything for money, Naija which way forward. It seems this recession has turned our dear country to dumping ground where anything goes.

I was expecting to see two scientists but lo and behold, na agberos I see. What a country.

lalasticlala jumping up right now. But what I don't know is why the zoo arrested the animals instead of releasing them to the society. The men too why hand them over to agricultural institute?

"Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine services' am i the only Nigerian hearing this for the first time and how were they able to value the package at "6.9 million' if they didn't open it?
