According to him, the seizure is a result of the ongoing collaborative efforts between the NCS and the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

"Investigations are ongoing, and perpetrators will be made to face the full wrath of the law. Let this seizure serve as a warning to those who engage in illicit activities that the NCS remains vigilant and dedicated to protecting our society, "the CGC warned. 


The CGC commended the Customs Area Controller, Tincan Island Port Command, Comptroller Dera Nnadi, and his team for the seizure, which he attributed to the dedication and hard work of the officers.
