Nigeria Customs Service seiz over 200 vehicles in Ogun State

The Ogun State Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has intercepted and impounded over 200 vehicles 
being used for conveying smuggled rice and vegetable oil across the border communities of the state.

The State Area Controller, Sani Madugu said the seized vehicles and food items would be forfeited to the Federal Government after due process;

''these ones shall be forfeited to the government after
court condemnation. Once we secure court condemnation
after 30 days of seizure, it becomes government
property”.


According to him 'these seizures were as a result of intelligence gathering.

We no longer use guns in making arrests, we have
adopted a dialogue approach. We are meeting with
community and religious leaders as well as youth 
leaders as a way of reducing this menace”.
