As part of efforts to curb smuggling activities along Nigeria’s borders, the Nigeria Customs Service has recently intercepted smugglers attempting to transport over 10,000 litres of Premium Motor Spirit commonly known as petrol, concealed in sacks in Lagos state.

The Commander of Zone A Operation Whirlwind, Assistant Comptroller of Customs, Mahmood Bello, disclosed that the Customs operatives conducted surveillance along the waterside in Badagry, where they intercepted 61 sacks and seven jerry cans of petrol loaded in a large canoe headed for the Benin Republic.

Bello noted that due to the volatile nature of the seized product, the National Coordinator had ordered its auctioning.
