The Coordinator of the team, Deputy Comptroller Mohammed Yusuf in a press briefing, gave a breakdown of the seizures as follows:

He said they included: 1500 units of 50kg bags of Foreign Parboiled Rice, 839 bales of Used Clothes, 3,525 litres of Premium Motor Spirit, 900 bags of Cement; used to conceal rice

Other items seized are 1,670 Mumrite Tomato Paste, 500 Mumrite Sardine, Smuggled Vehicles, One pump action, one locally fabricated pistol and 14 live cartridges.

He said efforts to ensure that local industries are protected from unhealthy foreign competition require a strong partnership between operatives and members of the public.

“Our efforts at ensuring that the local industries are protected from unhealthy foreign competition and other forms of social security require a strong partnership between our operatives and members of the public in areas of information sharing and moral support”, he reiterated.

Deputy Comptroller Yusuf said the Strike Force Team ‘A’ also generated revenue to the tune of N748,679,337, through documentary checks and issuance of demand notices on consignments that were found to have been short-paid.

The Coordinator stressed that, “it is sad to note that some Nigerians would pay all duties and levies payable to the Customs authorities of other countries they import from, while on the other hand, they make conscious efforts to evade such payments into the federal coffers”.

He appealed to importers and agents to be patriotic by making sincere declarations and paying their duties accurately even as the Yuletide period draws near.

“As we are in the last quarter of the year; approaching the yuletide period where recalcitrant traders and importers’ quest to make more profits through smuggling is

at its peak. I would use this opportunity to appeal to importers and agents to be patriotic by making sincere declarations and paying their duties accurately”, he explained.
