Gbajabiamila Reacts To Banker Forced To Pay Customs Duty On Shoe & Bag At NAIA by Gossipninja: 9:46am On Nov 04, 2019
The Speaker of the House has reacted to lady banker, Customs tango over duty payment on shoe, bag at Abuja airport.

ICYMI, Mrs Nwagboliwe, in a facebook post, blasted some Customs officers whom she alleged were rude and ethnically biased.

She said: “I arrived with a pair of trainers and one mini-boy bag bought at the duty-free shop in Heathrow.

For the records, I am a banker. I am not a trader. “To my shock, Customs at Abuja airport headed by one Ms Essien and T. Abdulrahman said they do not qualify as personal effects and calculated duty payment of about N175,000 for me to pay.

Most shocking to me was that I was the only passenger on that flight BA 083 from London that was singled out for this treatment.

“What are Nigerians able to buy when they travel? Ms Essien says that Nigerians are only entitled to N50,000 worth of goods. Everything above N50,000 is considered luxury and dutiable.

The speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila on reacting to the viral report during a seating, instructed the Chairman House Committee on Customs and finance to investigate the matter and review the customs act.

They react to those issues that concern the elite not the common man.
This is likely to affect people LIKE HIM

Investigate the police extorting Nigerians on the road daily
Investigate why 1 in 5 Nigerian children do not see their 1st birthday

by the way are the wife of the president and his family exempt from paying duty?

and they keep wondering why smuggling is the order of the day! isn't it absolutely ridiculous that duty payable on a pair of shoes and bag bought for personal use is N175,000?? I bet those same items coming in through the airport in benin republic will attract next to no duty. same way customs here charge ridiculously high duties on used cars. imagine paying duty of over a million naira on a car manufactured 7 years ago.....isn't that absolutely insane?!!

What is more worrying is whether this applies evenly to all citizens
How much duty is paid on goods brought in with the Presidential jets

Exactly. The monkeys dont know. And that estimate they checked may be higher than what she got it in the duty free shop. Madness I tell ya. I told my friend if he is going back just wear bathroom slippers and nylon bag. grin
