The Nigeria Customs Service has intercepted a petrol tanker conveying contraband rice.
The NCS Area Controller of the Adamawa/Taraba Command, Comptroller Olaniyi Alajogun, told newsmen that intelligence information led to the discovery and the interception of the supposed fuel tanker carrying rice. He added, “From all indications, the tanker was never used to carry petrol. Even after bringing out the rice, there was no hint that the bags were concealed in a tanker. I think what they do now is to construct tankers purposely to smuggle rice.
Other contraband items displayed on Thursday as seized by the Zonal Command from August this year when Olaniyi Alajogun assumed control of the Adamawa/Taraba zone, include 531 50kg urea fertiliser, and 29,385 litres of petroleum products which comprise petrol and diesel.
