Clearing agents operating in the country’s maritime industry have said that 85 per cent of imported used vehicles were vandalised by both the shipping companies and terminal operators.

He said, “In Grande Lagos that just berthed on April 2, 70 per cent of the vehicles discharged have been vandalised. The majority of them do not have keys and the funniest part is that the clearing agents are the ones that bear the brunt.”

Also speaking, the Deputy National President of the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders, Ugochukwu Nnadi, said, “In Grimaldi what we have is not vandalism it is pilfering. They still have the keys, especially these exotic cars that are controlled by remote. So, it is actually happening.”

Another clearing agent who simply gave his name as Leke, said a Toyota Camry 2020 model that came into the country through Grande Cameroon had the complete sensor key stolen.“We are tired of the operation of Grimaldi on the issues of missing items. 70 per cent of vehicles in Grande Cameroon were all missing sensors. And on Grande Lagos, a lot of parts were also missing. The worst part is the importers failed to understand that it is not our fault.

Reacting, the General Manager of PTML, Mr Tunde Keshinro, urged the agents to come up with the details of the affected vehicles, adding that it will be difficult for him to respond to mere allegations.All rights reserved.
