The Nigeria Customs Service has recently been regaling Nigerians with ‘heroic’ exploits of seizures following the recent border closure with neighbouring countries.
In the most recent of these displays, the Service paraded 54 containers of rice, 34 of which it said were expired and imported by Masters Energy Commodities Trading Limited, a company said to be owned by Chief Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah, the gubernatorial candidate of All Progressive Congress (APC) in the 2019 election and the present Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development
The Customs Comptroller-General, Hameed Ali, a retired army Colnel, who came down to Lagos from Abuja for the event, told newsmen that Customs had impounded 54 containers of banned goods worth N2.7bn smuggled into the country through the Tin Can Island Port.
