The seized bags of rice are always expired but will always end up in the private warehouses of some custom officers. Na so!

Give me 300 bags.i will quickly open a shop at Anabram where expired products thriving within 1week nothing would remain.

Yes!!!!!

When it get to a stage it started showing powdery substance, watch out!

They smuggled the rice thinking it was business as usual. In the past, they would have just bribed their way through.

I think they should do a public burning as a deterrent...

When we say no more smuggling, them think say we dey play.... We self our play too much...

So rice don dey get BB nowadays abi best before 2020... Pls na where dem dey write am for the body

Can rice even expire without being visibly obvious?
Sometimes we have to question the real motive behind certain excuses.
We all know what expired rice look like; it either starts forming mold, stick together, became whitish or have too many dust particles.

All these expiration story is a bad name given to an innocent dog to kill.

The rice is expired. It it will be sent to IDP camp.

Foreign ones like this have preservatives and stabilising agents. These are chemicals that have export dates. Put that together with the perishability of the ordinary grains
