The Nigerian
Customs Service has denied reports that its seized vehicles belonging to a
Senator in Kano.
The Customs said the publications was ‘capable of misleading
the public into wrong insinuations, it is imperative to state the facts’ and
that who introduced “Senator” angle to the story is out for pure mischief and
does not represent the position of the service on this issue.
The
publications said ‘that the Operatives of NCS Compliance Team, based on
credible intelligence, trailed the movement of some smuggled vehicles from
Maigatari, Jigawa State to a house at Magaji Rumfa, GRA Kano. ‘On the 7th
February, 2017, eleven (11) vehicles, 10 Hilux and one (1) Land cruiser jeep
were retrieved from the house at Magaji Rumfa GRA, Kano and taken for detention
at the HQ of Customs Area Command Kano. ‘That the officers discovered there
were no occupants in the house, hence the gate was forced opened to retrieve
the smuggled vehicles. ‘That investigation into the smuggling of the vehicles
is still on to establish the true owner. ‘From the above, it is clear that
whoever introduced the “Senator” angle to the story is out for pure mischief
and does not represent the position of the service on this issue.’
