"At about 2330hrs on Wednesday, 8 May 2024, while on joint patrol based on credible intelligence, we received the movement of 2 Boats laden with what was suspected to be petroleum products concealed in sacks. Upon receipt of the information, the team moved into Isalu Creeks Badagry Waterway.


The Customs Area Controller stated that careful examination of the seizure at the Command Headquarters revealed "177 Sacks and 61 Kegs of 25 Litres Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) containing 12,500 Liters with a total Duty Paid Value standing at N8,750,000."


According to him, the action of the smugglers contravenes Section 245 & 254 of the Nigeria Customs Service Act 2023.


Comptroller Bamisaiye warned smugglers to desist from their wicked acts or risk arrest, as the command has zero tolerance for smuggling. 


"There's a strong warning to the economic importance of this kind of seizure at a time of fuel scarcity can not be over-emphasised. People are suffering due to artificial scarcity, but they are busy smuggling these products outside the country to make money. It's either they stop this act, or we continue to arrest them. We have zero tolerance for this act," he vowed. 


The CAC further commended the effort of officers involved in the interception and their commitment to duty.
