Customs Seizes N37.5m Worth of Imported Rice, Vegetable Oil in Niger

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has seized a large quantity of imported rice and vegetable oil worth N37.5 million in Niger State. The seizure was made at the Minna Customs Command, Niger State.

According to a statement by the NCS, the seized items included 1,200 bags of 50kg each of imported rice and 1,000 liters of vegetable oil. The items were said to have been imported from India and were concealed in a truck that was attempting to smuggle them into the country.

The seizure was made following a tip-off from a reliable source, and the truck was intercepted at the Minna Customs Command. The driver of the truck and the owner of the goods were arrested and are currently being investigated by the NCS.

The seizure is a significant blow to smugglers who have been using various means to evade customs duties and taxes. The NCS has been working tirelessly to curb smuggling and ensure that only genuine goods are imported into the country.

The seized items have been taken to the NCS warehouse, and the owners are expected to pay duties and taxes before they can be released. The NCS has also vowed to continue to work hard to prevent smuggling and ensure that the country's borders are secure.
