 The Federal Operations Unit Zone C of Nigerian Custom Service has intensified its onslaught against smuggling syndicates in the southeast at a press briefing in Oweri capital of Imo State. The Acting Comptroller Zone C, Kaio-de-Kolade, says between July and September 2023 the service has seized contraband goods worth 1.5 billion Naira details in this report. This was the arrival of the Acting Comptroller of Nigerian Custom Service in Charge of Zone C, Kaio-de-Kolade to the warehouse where contraband goods worth billions of Naira are kept. The warehouse has filled with different contraband goods smuggled into the country between July and September 2023. In our drive to cough smuggling minors within our areas of jurisdiction, we intercepted various contraband goods with the PV value of 1.594 million Naira only, between July and September 2023. Based on our intervention, we recovered the sum of 54,244,575 Naira only from demand notice raised based on satisfaction notice, making cumulative sum of 1,648,494,571 Naira only within the month under review. The Acting Comptroller used the opportunity to inform journalists how his men have intercepted chemicals used for manufacturing of explosive devices. More worries are in the interception of 9.50 kg each of explosive material, fertilizer, diverse cable, and super-power-90 chemicals. We all know the security implication if these explosive components get to their destination on check. It may interest you to know that super-power-90 is designed for pre-ming application and as a column explosive in surface and underground mining and general blasting. The high detonation velocity and the robust nature of super-power-90 make it an ideal primer for the initial of column charge. Let us just imagine if dynamite and landmine are detonated using this item. 13 suspects were arrested in connection to this detention and seizure. The Nigerian Custom Service bus used the opportunity to warn smugglers who were used the December period to carry out their nefarious activities to desist from such acts.
