The Nigeria Customs Service Federal Operations Unit, Zone "D" has impounded a tanker truck without a registration number loaded with 502 bags of foreign parboiled rice (50kg each).

Comptroller Jalo stated that "On the 4th of October, at about 0800 hours, my Operatives on a credible intelligence stumbled upon this tanker truck suspected to conceal uncustoms goods along the Bauchi/Gombe road and upon examination, some five hundred and two (502) foreign parboiled rice were uncovered from the compartment of the truck".

Musa Ibrahim Jalo said the goods and the tanker truck have been impounded according to the Customs and Excise Management Act (CEMA) CAP C45 LFN 2004.
