The Ogun State Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), this morning, declared a total of #437,860,681 as revenue generated for a period of one month. This was even as it made an unprecedented seizure of various contrabands, including a brand new 2018/2019 model of Range Rover Jeep with a Duty Paid Value (DPV) of #64,249,064.80, and tagged 'Seizure of the month'.

Also intercepted between May 2 and June 4, 2018, were 5,103 bags (50kg)of foreign rice, 51 vehicles, comprising 19 'tokuboh' and 32 means of conveyance, 135 kegs (25 liters) of vegetable oil, 33 bags of sugar (50kg each), 7 bales of secondhand, 3 bales, 36 sacks and 300 pairs of foot wears.

Other seizures made include 129 pieces of used tyres, 102 kegs (25kg) of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), and a sack of ladies hand bags, all with a total Duty Paid Value of #370,892,666.00.

Making the declaration, at a press briefing held at the Idiroko Sentry of the Command, the Customs Area Controller (CAC), Comptroller Michael Agbara, said: "We have set the ball rolling in our quest to effectively perform our core functions of revenue generation, suppression of smuggling and facilitation of legitimate trade".

Reacting specifically to smuggling of rice, the custums boss, who conducted media men round the sentry, to assess the seized items, expressed disgust at smugglers' desperation, and berated them for endangering the lives of consumers of foreign rice.

He laid emphasis on how the 'economic saboteurs' stocked the commodity in every available space in the means of conveyance (vehicles) , quintessence of which was in the battery compartments.

Aside the health hazards constituted to consumers of such grains of rice, Agbara stated that, while government was focusing on how to improve local production, smugglers were busy killing the efforts, thereby empowering neighboring countries.

Another velar to be stolen by senior customs officials

This country is just a stupid joke, somebody will suffer and buy a car of over 60m then another person that didn't work nor suffer will just collect it from you simply because he knows someone at the top.

You my friend is stupid, sometimes we should leave sentiments aside and call a spade a spade. If the owner of that range paid his custom duty, will they seize the car? You guys want Nigeria to be better but when things are done the hard way. . U criticize destructively. You lot and oafs will be d one saying custom is not working. When something good is done. Encourage them. This rice importers are killing local production and empowering the neighboring countries.tell me how Nigeria will improve, we are just to corrupt and care only about ourselves and no one else in the country. And the health hazards involved in storing the grains is another issue. Please use your brain.... Stop making a fool of yourself on a public platform.

Most of this items pose health hazards and they have to be destroyed

Seizure of the rice is good, at least save us from eating poison no one can tell.

But for the cars? Mbanu my brothers, let's re bargain, but how would someone use such amount of money to buy a car and wouldn't clear it properly, na wahw

Is it not stupidity that will make a man smuggle N64m what of car through the borders?

Na wah o these custom guys are enjoying i swear...they will still sell those goods they seized to other people.

All the posters above me are bunch of fools. And not only fools , the greatest enemies of our dear country.

fellow Nairalanders, it's your boy's birthday, please show some love

RANGE ROVER VELAR!!!
