The Area Comptroller, of Nigeria Custom Service, (NCS) for Adamawa/Taraba Command, Salisu Abdullahi, has disclosed that some items including 15,449 litres of Premium Motor Spirit have been impounded.
According to him, a cumulative Duty Value at N13m, has been paid into Federal Government coffer.
This was disclosed in a statement posted on the official X handle of the NCS on Tuesday.
Other seized items include 19 cartons of foreign insecticide and 26 bags of 50kg foreign parboiled rice.
The Comptroller said most of the product had been disposed off in accordance with the extant laws and the accrued proceeds remitted into the Federation Account.
Abdullahi said the fraction of the PMS remaining on the ground will also be auctioned.
He added that the command did not apprehend any of the smugglers as they all took to their heels, but promised to clamp down on all smugglers, maintaining that the nation cannot afford to allow saboteurs to take over the economy.
The comptroller called on Nigerians, stakeholders and all relevant security agencies at the Command’s frontiers to continue collaborating with the Customs in the battle against the menace of smuggling.
