The joint border patrol team of the Nigeria Customs Service, Sector 4 has seized another consignment of sex enhancement drugs along Kajiji – Sokoto Road, with duty paid value of N19.6 million.
Also intercepted were counterfeit drugs which the duty paid values were yet to be ascertained.
Addressing newsmen on the seizure, the coordinating comptroller, Kolapo Oladeji, said the arrest was made through an intelligent report.
“These drugs are very dangerous to the health of our people. Some of them even carry fake NAFDAC registration and expiry dates.
“Men of the joint border patrol team were able to intercept truck loads of food items heading to Niger Republic through the Kebbi border.
“We will leave no stone unturned to block food smuggling out of the country because of the current situation in the country.
“We all know that prices of food items have skyrocketed because of the unpatriotic acts of some Nigerians. Our people are hungry but they prefer to take the food to other countries despite the border closures imposed by ECOWAS.
“We will continue to trail them and block their routes and whoever is caught in this nefarious act will face the full wrath of the law,” he said
The joint border patrol team also intercepted 60 jerry cans of petrol along the Illela border which were auctioned to the public.
