Kaduna Customs Impound Over 1,000 Bags Of Rice Hidden Inside Petrol Tanker

Customs officials in Kaduna state have intercepted a tanker stacked with  over 1,000 bags of various brands of foreign parboiled rice.


 The Comptroller of Customs Federal Operation Unit zone ‘B’ Kaduna, Usman Dakingari told journalists on Wednesday that since this announcement, rice smugglers have devised new methods to beat Customs surveillance.

 The smugglers stacked thousands of bags of rice with 50 kg bag in oil tankers to give the impression that what they carry are products derived from petroleum.  He noted that smugglers were arrested after the intelligence and regular monitoring of Customs officials in Kaduna.

Dakingari revealed further that the smugglers have also devised the method of mixing bags of rice inside bags containing grain, adding that this is to give the impression that the bags contain only maize.

The Customs comptroller vowed that he and his men are determined to rid the zone of smugglers. He adviced those who engaged in smuggling to desist from the illegal act or be prepared to face the wrath of the law.
