How Weapon-laden Container Dissappeared From Apapa Port by collossians: 3:20pm On Feb 19, 2018 |
The unsavory consequences of the absence of scanners at the Nigerian ports resurfaced last week when a container laden with dangerous weapons and military camouflage uniforms was “flown” out of Apapa port in the full glare of security agencies at the ports. these agencies include, Department of security services (DSS), Port health, Nigeria customs service (NCS), Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) security, Port Police, Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine service (NAQS) and Nigeria Immigrations Service (NIS). these are the ones allowed to operate inside the ports. there are still others insistent on operating in the ports despite being barred. they include Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) among others. besides, there are other security operatives who still patrol outside the ports. In spite of all this number of security operatives, a 40-foot container of such magnitude disappeared from the ports and scaled through all the checkpoints mounted by this hordes of security men and women. Already, the commissioner of Police, Lagos Ports Command, Celestine Okoye, has directed his detectives to trace the location of the missing container and arrest both the importer and others connected with the importation within 24 hours. the search for the container which came on the heels of wanton killings in the country by suspected herdsmen and kidnappers dressed in military camouflage has placed both the police and custom officials on ac ollision course after CP Okoye vowed to get to the root of the matter. Angered by this sudden disappearance, stakeholders have called for a probe into the issue insisting that the container did not fly out of the ports but was cleared by appropriate authorities. read more: https://www.collossians.com/weapon-laden-container-dissappeared-apapa-port/ |
