Smuggling: Customs Destroys N4m Worth Of Poultry Products
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

The Seme Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) yesterday buried 650 cartons of frozen chicken and turkey imports valued at N4 million smuggled into Nigeria from Cotonou, the Republic of Benin.

Shortly after the destruction of the poultry products at the command’s headquarters in Seme, a border town with the Benin Republic, the comptroller in charge of the command, Ndalati Garba Mohammed, said that as part of his command’s efforts to suppress smuggling, his men over the weekend made the seizure of prohibited frozen poultry products from die-hard smugglers who have kept to the illegitimate business.
The comptroller said he had directed increased enforcement at the border area including various footpaths to forestall attempts by desperate smugglers to evade duty and bring in prohibited items through unapproved routes.
He said, “Full compliance with this directive had resulted to various seizures and arrests in the past, including this recent one comprising frozen turkey and chicken which falls under import prohibition.

“While some of the suspected smugglers escaped into the bush at night during the operation, our operatives arrested one of them and also seized a vehicle being used as a means of conveyance of the prohibited items.
“Today, we are destroying these poultry products in compliance with government directives and wish to use this opportunity to warn smugglers to desist from the anti economic vice and face lawful trades.”
According to him, the command has commenced investigations to arrest those behind this smuggling act and get them to face the full wrath of the law.
“We are also on the lookout for any individual or group of persons that will dare our resolve by attempting to smuggle through Seme Border or any area within our coverage.
“We will never relent in arresting and prosecuting them in line with our enabling law,” he said.
