The Joint Border Patrol Team, Section 3, North+Central Zone of the Nigerian Customs Service says it recently recovered a Toyota Land cruiser jeep
The car with registration number KUJ 570 MB was intercepted by operatives of the Joint border patrol team, deployed to the Suleija axis of Niger State, who were on routine patrol in the early hours of Wednesday, November 23, 2022.
Giving a scorecard of the joint border patrol team for 2022 at a press briefing at the Customs Command Headquarters in Ilorin on Monday, the Coordinator, Olugbenga Peters, disclosed that the two occupants of the vehicle who could not produce customs documents requested by the operatives took to their heels and ran into the bush.
The Coordinator said two other stolen cars recovered by the operatives during the period under review included a Lexus RX 350 without a number plate, seized around the Benue axis and a Toyota Yaris with registration number BEN-59-EZ intercepted around the Lokoja axis of the Sector. He warned daredevil smugglers who still intend to smuggle illicit, controlled and prohibited goods or engage in human trafficking and other criminality to think twice.
