He said: "Even though there is clearly no NAFDAC number on the packs, we have given the sample to NAFDAC for test to determine whether the detained drugs should be seized."
Bawa also paraded two men who have been arrested in connection with a trailer load of fake drugs worth millions of naira seized and handed over to NAFDAC last year,adding that the suspects will be handed over to NAFDAC for conclusion of investigation and possible prosecution.
He said that the collaboration and intelligence networking among security agencies should be the prime strategy, adding that the customs is ready to collaborate with any well meaning agency to serve Nigerians better.
The Comptroller warned officers and men of the unit of dire consequences for breaching Comptroller General of Customs order against highway check points and any form of extortion.
"The present management has done a lot in the area of welfare and provision of working tools, there should be no excuse for failure," he said.
