Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) in Kwara State has seized a consignment of Cannabis Sativa valued at N57.6 million.

The consignment was intercepted during an intelligence led special operation, along Yamboa axis of Bukuro in Baruten Local Government Area.

Comptroller Faith Ojeifo, the Customs Area Controller, revealed this during a press conference in Ilorin.

She stated that the cannabis was found in a DAF truck with registration number T-25750-LA, which the driver abandoned after customs officers detected the hidden contraband.

“Upon inspection, 1,153 parcels of Cannabis Sativa were discovered, concealed within fabricated compartments in the truck.

“The truck, valued at N21.5 million, will be forfeited to the Federal Government under the Nigeria Customs Service Act, 2023,” She said.

According to her, the
seized consignment of cannabis has been handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for further action.

Receiving the consignment, the NDLEA Commande in Kwara State, Hajiya Fatima Popoola, praised the Customs Service for their effective intervention, noting that the cannabis would have had devastating effects on society if not intercepted.

She assured that the
NDLEA would work closely with the Customs Service to ensure those responsible are brought to justice.

Aside this, the Kwara Command also intercepted 2,750 liters of Petroleum Motor Spirit (PMS) worth N550,000, which smugglers attempted to take out of the country despite the ongoing fuel scarcity in Nigeria.

Ojeifo commended her officers for their dedication and professionalism in curbing smuggling activities in the region.

She emphasized the importance of inter-agency collaboration in securing Nigeria’s borders and reaffirmed the command’s commitment to intensifying efforts against smuggling and other criminal activities.

Meanwhile the Kwara Command has generated over N3.37 billion in revenue between June and July 2024, bringing the total revenue collected from January to July 2024 to N13.4 billion.
