SHOCKER: IMPORTED Container of Jollof Rice, Egusi, Ogbono Soup SEIZED By Customs In Lagos
The Tin-Can Island Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has intercepted a 20ft container of “READY TO EAT FOODS” like Egusi Soup, Jollof Rice, Ogbono, Yam Porridge imported from India.


The Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Bashar Yusuf, spoke with stakeholders at the SDV/SCOA Terminal while handing over the container of imported prepared foods to officials of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control.


The controller described the scenario as an “aberration”, considering the fact that government granted zero duty for the importation of machinery for the packaging of agricultural products.

Yusuf in a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the Command, Mr. Uche Ejesieme, said “Why should indigenous menu be imported into the country at a time when investors are much sought after to boost local industries.”

The controller said the command generated N25.7bn in November, up from N25.3bn recorded in October.

Yusuf said that the higher revenue was recorded in spite of the recession and low imports.

He said that the command would continue to explore all avenues for maximum revenue collection.

According to him, this is in view of the exigencies of the moment, which placed more responsibilities on the service.

Yusuf urged potential investors to take advantage of the numerous export potential in the country for their socio-economic benefits.

TOP SECRET: Wanted Ex-Custom Boss, Dares Buhari, Sneaked Into Custom House Abuja

TOP SECRET: Wanted Ex-Custom Boss, Dares Buhari, Sneaked Into Custom House Abuja

Abdullahi Inde Dikko
The Declared wanted immediate past Comptroller-General of Customs, CGC, Alhaji Abdullahi Inde Dikko, sacked by President Muhammadu Buhari, sneaked into the Abuja headquarters of the service yesterday for what insiders disclosed as a “brief meeting” with his successor, Col. Hammed Ali, (rtd).

The former CGC had disappeared from public radar since his residence at Jabi in the Federal Capital Territory was raided by the operatives of the Economic and financial Crimes Commission, EFCC in January this year.

Although no further information could be gathered as to his mission to the Customs House, Abuja, Nigerian Pilot recalls that, following allegations of corrupt practices all through his tenure as Customs boss, he was fired from office on August 15 last year.

Upon conclusion of their investigation of his alleged wrongdoings, the operatives of the EFCC on January 8 stormed Dikko’s residence at Jabi in Abuja and conducted a thorough search.

According to sources within the anti-graft agency, the search took several hours and ended about the dusk. However, the agents did not meet Dikko at home.

The EFCC was allegedly looking for huge sums of money, believed to be stashed in a residence owned by the former customs chief. He was later alleged to have escaped to Dubai, United Arab Emirate, causing the federal government to threaten to employ the services of the INTERPOL to arrest him.
