Nigeria Customs Service, Western Marine Command has seized 941 bags of rice estimated at N6, 830,791 being smuggled into the country.
The Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Sarkin Kebbi, told newsmen in Lagos that the seizure was barely a month after he assumed duty at the command.
According to him, the achievement was borne out of the new approach to duty in the command by the officers and men, stressing that the goal of the command is to ensure that the waterways were safe from unscrupulous businessmen and women, whose activities endanger national security.
Acknowledging the enormity of the task ahead, Kebbi revealed that plans are underway to visit states, institutions and organisations within the command, in order to familiarise himself with the terrain and gather intelligence necessary for effective administration.
