According to a post on the official X handle of the NCS on Saturday, the Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Odaudu Salefu, while addressing journalists at the Command on Friday, credited the success to the Command’s extensive intelligence network.

According to him, his officers intercepted the boat while on patrol at midnight on the waterway between Abongo and T-junction, “a mini search was conducted on the boat, and they discovered 36 live African Grey Parrots.”

He added: “You are aware that Nigeria is a signatory to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and cannot watch some illegal traders send our animals into extinction.”
