The Nigeria Customs Service’s Joint Border Patrol Team Sector 2 intercepted 1,410 liters of premium motor spirit PMS valued at N30.4 million within a week.
Mohammad Shuaibu, the team’s coordinator, disclosed this during a press briefing at the Customs Training College in Ikeja on Friday. Shuaibu revealed that the team also seized other contraband worth N1.12 billion and arrested five suspects linked to these seizures.
Additionally, Shuaibu stated that the team recovered N11.5 million in revenue through debit notes on improperly imported vehicles and goods. The team also intercepted 30 illegal immigrants, handing them over to the Nigeria Immigration Service for further investigation.
Shuaibu warned smugglers of the multiple negative effects of their activities, including undermining national security and depleting the nation’s revenue base.
