Other items impounded by the service include 26 units of motor vehicles; 127 bales of second-hand clothing; and 635 cartons of foreign spaghetti and macaroni.

He also attributed the success to information received from some patriotic members of the public.

He promised to redouble efforts at ensuring the zone and the nation was free of smuggling for the economic betterment of the country.

Hamisu further called on members of the public to partner with the NCS to combat smuggling by giving it information.
