“Nobody has come to claim ownership. Let me use this opportunity to urge the owners of these vehicles to come forward with valid Customs clearance documents otherwise they will be liable to seizure and subsequent forfeiture to the federal government in line with the laws of the land. For the avoidance of doubt, our action is in line with the provisions of section 147 of Customs and Excise Management Act (CEMA) CAP C45.

“The substance is valued at one hundred and ninety-nine Million, two hundred thousand naira (N199, 200, 000.00) with two suspects in our custody. The drugs and the suspects will be handed over to NAFDAC for further investigation and possible prosecution in a court of competent jurisdiction. The fight against drug abuse and illicit drugs is a collective effort and if all hands are on deck, we will make our nation a drug free society.”

Furthermore, Comptroller Uba informed that two containers were seized during the period under review saying that while 1x40ft container no PCIU922650/8 was seized for carrying 525 bales of second hand clothing as against used motorcycles declared in SGD, the other 1x40ft container no PCIU871664/5 was seized for carrying 11 jumbo bales of jeans, 365 cartons of new slippers, 145 cartons of new bags as against adhesive dressing.

“This is a clear case of false declaration which is tantamount to seizure. We are still investigating this and anyone found culpable will face the full wrath of the law,” he said.

The Area Controller stated that the unit within the period under review intercepted various contraband with a Duty Paid Value (DPV) of One Billion, One Hundred and Twenty Million, Seven Hundred and Fourteen Thousand, Three Hundred and Thirty-Eight Naira, Twelve Kobo (N1, 120, 714, 338. 12) following heightened anti-smuggling operation.
