A Joint Special Taskforce comprising of Officers and Men, of Ogun I Command, Federal Operations Unit Zone “A” and CGC’s Strike Force have intercepted 13 Jerry cans of 25 litres and six Jerry cans of 10 litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) concealed clandestinely in two caskets.
The said items were conveyed by a smuggler with the intention of smuggling the items across the border to a neighbouring country in a Mazda 626 with Lagos registration number LSD 617 CW.
The Command has reiterated it’s stand that there is no retreat on the fight against smuggling in whatever disguise.
“We therefore appeal to the general public to embrace legitimate means of livelihood and to avoid smuggling in all its ramifications. The eagle eye is all around Ogun state to halt new techniques initiated by economic saboteurs to perpetuate their illicit acts”, said Abdullahi Maiwada, Ogun state command of the Customs Service.
