Customs Intercepts Bags Of Plastic Rice by RoyalMail: 11:46pm On Dec 20, 2016 |
The Federal Operations Unit, Ikeja, of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has intercepted 102 bags of plastic rice branded “Beat Tomato Rice’’ with no date of manufacture. The Customs Area Controller of F.O.U. Comptroller Mohammed Haruna, made the disclosure in an interview with our correspondent. He said that the commodity was stored for distribution as Yuletide gifts for the public. Haruna said that officers of the unit intercepted the plastic rice along Ikeja area on Monday, adding that a suspect was arrested in connection with the seizure. “Before now, I thought it was a rumour that the plastic rice is all over the country but with this seizure, I have been totally convinced that such rice exists. “We have done the preliminary analysis on the plastic rice. After boiling, it was sticky and only God knows what would have happened if people consumed it. “I advise those economic saboteurs who see yuletide season as a peak period for nefarious acts to desist from such illegal business. “The unit has decided other operational modalities that will make them run for their monies and count their losses, ‘’ NAN quotes the controller as saying. He described smuggling as a global phenomenon, adding that such act could not be curbed entirely but could be brought to its barest minimum. Haruna appreciated well-meaning Nigerians who provided the service with prompt information that led to the discovery of the bags of plastic rice. The controller, however, advised the media to educate the public on the existence of plastic food, adding that it was no longer a rumour. Haruna assured the public that the distribution point of the particular plastic rice seized by the unit had been blocked with immediate effect. He said that investigation was still ongoing. The controller said the unit would handover the plastic rice to the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) for proper investigation.

When they know that all we are after is consumption. When are we going to be serious about production thereby putting the importation of things like this on hold Thank God for the alertness of the custom officers. Who knows how many more would have find their ways to the market...?? |

We Nigerians are the root cause of our problems. We go around the world looking for inferior and deadly things to import all cos of money! Money! Money!!! We are just too greedy and wicked! Se dem swear for us ni How on earth will a sane person import plastic rice when you don't even know where it will end up. Your dear child may eat out of it somewhere somehow even if u don't have it in your house then he develops complications and you begin to run from pillar to post thinking its one old woman in your village that is doing you. May pestilence and sadness never depart from the household of whoever imports this poison into the system. 7 Likes |
