The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has intercepted 16 containers loaded with prohibited items, including firearms, ammunition, military equipment, fake drugs, and other contraband, worth ₦10 billion at the Lagos Port Complex, Apapa.
Comptroller General Adewale Adeniyi, speaking to journalists, said the seizures included two pump-action rifles, 25 cartridges, a Smith & Wesson pistol with 55 rounds, and 202 cans of Colorado Loud — a Canadian strain of cannabis — weighing a total of 101 kilogrammes.
The items were concealed in a 40-foot container consigned to Babatunde Ogidiolu of Lagos, which had initially been cleared before a secondary joint security search uncovered the illicit cargo. (TVC)
