Addressing journalists at the unit in Ikeja on Thursday, the acting Customs Area Controller in charge of the unit, Hussein Ejibunu said that the unit also intercepted 201 cartons of expired seasoning, 39 bales of used clothes amongst others with the period under reeview.
He explained that the liters of the PMS were intercepted at the borders while being smuggled to Benin Republic. Ejibunu said, “You may recall that, some weeks ago, Nigerians had to pay more for PMS amidst scarcity. Despite the fact that the Federal Government had subsidised the product for local consumption, many Nigerians still passed through this hardship; partly because some unscrupulous citizens choose to satisfy their egoistic desires by smuggling the products into the Republic of Benin; some of which were along the border corridors.
“Notable among the seizures recorded within the period under review are I. 7,261 bags of 50kg foreign parboiled rice equivalent to 12 trucks load, 600 bags of basmati rice 5kg each, 34,725 liters of PMS, 39 bales of used clothes, 225 pieces of used tyres, 201 cartons of expired seasoning, 331 cartons of frozen poultry, six units of used imported cars, 2,634 cartons of slippers/shoes, 900 pairs of used shoes, 42 units of used motorcycles, amongst others.
