Federal Operations Unit, FOU, Zone ‘A’ of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) said it intercepted contraband at the weekend. 

The unit Comptroller, Umar Dahiru, said that 4,911 bags of 50kg parboiled rice, 15,048 cartons of imported frozen poultry products, 1,884 kegs of vegetable oil and 17 trucks of unprocessed teak wood valued at N572.1 million were seized from smugglers at different routes within its axis of operation.
