Tincan island command, where fraud is a legal practices.
vartualy all terminals under tincan command are of highest fraudulent acts where Nigeria citizen are being milked.
FIVE-STAR LOGISTICS to be precise is one of the roro terminal in Tincan island command. The terminal has programmed their activities in such a way that no single vehicle on a vessel will escape storage charge. Imagine a situation where a vessel carrying more than 2,000 vehicles are subjected to #2,000 automatic storage charges, this account to be #4m on the said vessel. Evidences are on ground for this I'm saying.
Aside this illegal means of milking of citizens, vehicles that has been cleared by customs releasing officer awaiting gate exit at customs office, spent nothing less than 3days . Customs often claim bad network for this delay. The question is how many vehicles goes through FIVE-STAR gate, it is vartualy less than half of the quantities of cars brought by the vessel, most of the vehicles goes to bonded terminals. Our Question is, did the gate section of the Customs sign an agreement with the Terminal management to use a delay tactics so that importers can pay more of storage charge due to bad network at the gate section of the Custom? if the answer is NO, why are other terminals not experiencing the same network issue.
In terms of services, this Five-star terminal is rated below average. All there ways of operations are to milk importers, in Grimaldi terminal, both the Delivery order and terminal delivery order takes nothing less than 30 minutes for processing. In Five-star terminal agent spent nothing less than 2days.
In conclusion, clearing of cars in Tincan command takes nothing less than 10days compared to other terminal where car cars can be cleared within 4day.
Fraudulent ways of storage charge in Five-star is alarming. All relevant agencies to come to our aid.
