Speaking to newsmen during a press conference in Lagos, the Ag. Controller Customs Area, FOU, Zone A, deputy Comptroller Hussein Ejibunu, stated that the command also intercepted 7,728KG of Indian hemp also heading to the South-East.

Ejibunu stated that the military hardware, comprising 15 pieces of bulletproof jackets, 5 pieces of jack knives, and 20 pieces of bulletproof jackets, were brought into the country illegally due to the absence of essential documents like end-user certificates.

Customs

The Customs comptroller also reported additional confiscations, including 5,642 bags of foreign parboiled rice, 18,925 liters of premium motor spirit, 49 cartons of children’s school shoes, 357 kegs of vegetable oil, 1 unit of Honda Motorcycle, and 2 pre-owned vehicles.

He said, “within July 2023, the sedulousness of our officers led to the interception of smuggled 15 bulletproof jackets; 15 pieces of jack knives and 20 pieces of pistol pouches inside a Toyota Sienna Bus in Ogun State at Ijebu-Ode Checkpoint. The driver of the vehicle was arrested in conjunction with the seized controlled wares”

“It is pertinent to know that the importation of all forms of bulletproof materials such as vests, ballistic materials and vehicles, as well as parts and accessories for all military armaments and hardware such as guns, arms and ammunition of all kinds; lethal and non-lethal requires an end-user certificate”

Customs

“An end-user certificate is applied to, and issued by the office of the national security adviser which loses its validity after one year from the issuance date. Hence, anyone importing a controlled item must do so within the validity period of the end-user certificat”.

Ejibunu mentioned that the recent visit of the acting Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, to the unit served as a morale booster, inspiring the officers to carry out the recent seizures.

“Seizures recorded within the period under review are a reflection of officers’ commitment to duty, and no compromise posture in the discharge of our statutory responsibilities; aimed at protecting the national economy and preventing the importation of prohibited, and harmful goods”

“This success story will not be complete without my expression of gratitude to the Ag. Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi MFR whose maiden working visit to the Unit was a morale booster. I also use this medium to thank him and members of the management team for stoking our logistics for more gainful performance” he said.

Additionally, Ejibunu said the service recovered N66.49million from Demand Notice (DN), raised for importers due to under declaration of cargoes.

In his words, “The total Duty Paid Value (DPV) of the seized goods stood at N462.7million While the sum N66.49million was recovered as revenue into the federation account through the issuance of Demand Notice (DN) on Customs duties that were discovered to be underpaid”

“13 suspects were arrested in connection with some of the seizures, and are at different stages of investigations and prosecution” he stated.
