           On the 7th February,2017,eleven {11} vehicles,10 Hilux and one {1} Land cruiser jeep were retrieved from the house at Magaji Rumfa GRA,Kano and taken for detention at the HQ of Customs Area Command Kano.That the officers discovered three were no occupants in the house,hence the gate was forced opened to retrieve the smuggled vehicles.That investigation into the smuggling of the vehicles is still on to establish the true owner.From the above,it is clear that whoever introduced the ''Senator'' angle to the story is out for pure mischief and does not represent the position of the service on this issue.Accordingly,the false and misleading report should be discountenance please.
