The Ogun 1 Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has called on Nigerians to desist from using second-hand tyres, commonly known as ‘Tokunbo’, to mitigate the frequent road accidents in the country.

Speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Ota, Ogun State, the command’s comptroller, Mr. James Ojo, emphasised that the prevalence of ‘Tokunbo tyres’ was a significant factor contributing to road crashes in the state and across Nigeria.

Ojo advised the public to invest in new tyres, which offer greater longevity and enhanced safety on highways. He acknowledged the economic challenges faced by many Nigerians but highlighted the critical importance of prioritising safety to prevent unnecessary loss of life.

“These pneumatic tyres, popularly known as Tokunbo tyres, are deemed unsuitable for our highways because a significant number of them have exceeded their recommended lifespan from their manufacturing dates. In addition, any usage beyond this duration can pose a significant risk to motorists and put their lives in jeopardy,” he said.
