The rice smuggler
Some gallant operatives of the Nigeria Customs at the Badagry-Seme
border, have nabbed a smuggler who packaged contraband rice as dead
bodies inside an ambulance.
Speaking to a correspondent, Chief Superintendent of Customs, Ozah
M., said the team noticed the frequency with which the said ambulance
was patronising the international route with the ‘dead body,’ a development they thought was becoming alarming.
The mobile patrol team leader disclosed further that his officers
stopped the ambulance and discovered that it was carrying eleven bags of
imported rice that was carefully arranged and wrapped as corpses, which
led to the arrest of a suspected smuggler, Moses Degbogbahun, who
brought in the commodity.
Taupyen Selchang, who is the Command’s Public Relations Officer,
warned that no amount of smuggling antics along Seme border route will
go undetected by the eagle eyes of officers and men of the Command,
adding that the suspect was still undergoing investigation for possible
prosecution.
