📝 NigeriaNewsFeed Summary
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has successfully intercepted a container at Tincan Island port in Lagos, uncovering parts for over 140 pump-action rifles and cannabis-infused products valued at N373.8 million. The seizure was made possible through the agency's intelligence-driven risk management system, leading to the arrest of two suspects, while one remains at large. The rifles, identified as jojeff pump-action models, were concealed alongside 109 cartons of delta-8 cannabis-infused pre-roll cookies, 125 cartons of gummies, and 73 cartons of cannabis-infused cookies. Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, emphasized the need for heightened security operations, particularly with the upcoming election cycle, warning that criminal networks may exploit Nigeria's borders. He urged citizens to provide credible intelligence to aid the fight against smuggling and enhance border security. The NCS remains committed to collaborating with other security agencies to address these challenges.
