The Comptroller General of Customs (CGC), Adewale Adeniyi, made this known during a press briefing at the Command on Friday, 14 June 2024.


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


Giving a breakdown of the items, Adeniyi stated, "3 plastic drums concealing several packets of Cannabis Indica, 46 bags containing 2,144 packets of Cannabis Indica all weighing 1,072kg seized from 01x40ft Container No. GAOU 669921/5 imported from Canada.

"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.


He reiterated that the collaborative synergy between NCS and its partner agencies exemplifies the effectiveness of pooling resources and intelligence, reinforcing agencies' commitment to safeguarding the nation's borders and protecting its citizens from the threats posed by smuggling.
