Hoodlums attack customs officials as NCS seizes 30,240 bottles of foreign wine
The attackers, who invaded the Owerri Industrial Layout recently were professionally contained without any casualty.
According to the controller of the FOU Zone C, Kayode Olusemire, the attackers were apparently linked to owners of the contraband goods that were impounded and were obviously working for those he called economic saboteurs still involved in smuggling banned products.
He said that the raid showed how desperate smugglers have become since the unit’s intensified efforts to shut down their smuggling routes.
According to him: “This will not deter us, but what they should know is that a section of the Customs and Extant Management Act empowered us to defend ourselves against aggression and we will not fail to do so if we come under threat like this one.”
Olusemire, who took newsmen round some of the latest seizures, said that the operative impounded three containers loaded with 5,040 cartons of foreign non-alcoholic drinks, but falsely declared as salt and two containers of clothes, pants and brassieres falsely declared as agricultural pressure sprayer.
The impounded contrabands amounted to N143,200,000 in Duty Paid Value.
