The Ogun State Area
Command, Nigeria Customs Service, has intercepted a petrol tanker and about 25
other vehicles loaded with smuggled bags of rice.
The new Area Controller, Hassan Gangua,
on Thursday added that the interceptions were recorded in different parts of
the state in the last two weeks.
Ganga, who spoke at the command’s Idiroko
border office, explained that the MAN diesel petrol tanker with number plate,
FST 51 XE, was specially built for smuggling.
He said the tanker,
which was filled to capacity with the smuggled rice, was intercepted by customs
operatives on Monday November 15, 2016, along the Idiroko border area, on its
way to Lagos.
“This interception was made 24 hours after my
arrival by our gallant officers,” he added.
