Busload Of Narcotics Conveyed By Security Agents Intercepted Near Seme Border

April 22, 2023

The SemƩ Command of Nigeria Customs Service said it intercepted 553 parcels of cannabis sativa worth N10 million, with four suspects arrested alongside.

The Customs Area Controller of Seme Customs, Comptroller Dera Nnadi, disclosed this in a statement on Friday in SemƩ.

Mr Nenadi said a Ford bus conveying the contraband was accosted by Customs officials on routine patrol along the Abidjan – Lagos Corridor on April 21.

ā€œUpon search of the bus, seven large sacks containing 553 parcels of cannabis sativa, also known as Indian hemp, were discovered.

ā€œAlso, Four male occupants of the vehicle, comprising of two civilians and two members of one of the sister security agencies conveying the contraband items were arrested.

ā€œThe contraband narcotics worth about N10 million and the means of conveyance were taken to the station at Seme and detained, pending further investigations.

ā€œAlso taken to the station are the four male suspects who have volunteered statements.

ā€œHowever, the two members of one of the sister security agencies were handed over to their agency for further necessary action.

ā€œPreliminary investigation following the questioning of the suspects revealed that the Indian hemp was destined for Kaduna State,ā€ he said.

Mr Nnadi condemned the nefarious means of earning a living by some members of the society, who had no consideration for the damaging effects of hard drugs which contributed to crime in the country.

He urged members of the society who traversed the Seme corridor to take advantage of the trade facilitation effort of the Nigeria Customs Service and engage in legitimate business.

The controller charged all stakeholders, officers and men of the command and sister border agencies along the corridor to remain vigilant and alert during the Salah celebration as smugglers might wish to take advantage of the public holidays to engage in their reprehensible acts.

He also directed them to ensure that all facilities and critical government infrastructure in the area of responsibilities were protected during this period as always.
