Men of the Nigerian Customs Service have intercepted some smugglers criminally concealing bags of rice into the country.
The intercepted merchandise
On Sunday 9th April 2017, the Federal Operations Unit zone A Ikeja Lagos led by OC Monitoring Team B Idiroko Axis, DSC Ogundeyi, N. A., based on information intercepted a MAN Diesel Truck with Reg. Num: NNE 34G ZG along Atan-Ota, Idiroko - Expressway neatly concealed 317 Bags of Foreign Parboiled Rice of 50kg each
The impact of Intelligence sharing cannot be over emphasized as the concealment of these goods was neatly done to deceive the public that the truck was only carrying animal skin.
After thorough examination, it was realized that the rice were packed 4 per 600kg bag making it look like it was all animal skin. Where and how they got these animal skin is question begging for an answer which only investigation can reveal.
It has a duty paid value of Two Million, Sixty Thousand, Five Hundred Naira only (2,060,500.00).
