“Similarly, based on credible intelligence, officers and men of Kebbi Area command on Friday night, Jan. 7, 2022, were able to scuttle the activities of dare-devil smugglers of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) at Low-coast waterway in Yauri.

“Consequently evacuated 150 drums equivalent of 30,000 litres of PMS, which were meant to be smuggled out of the country through waterways valued at N4,860,000, ” it added.

The statement quoted the Customs Area Controller, Hafiz Kalla, as condemning how a few unscrupulous elements diverted the product (PMS) for their selfish reasons, thereby sabotaging the government’s effort.
