According to Taupyen, the latest tactic of smugglers is to wrap bags of rice as corpses and load them in hearses.
He said 11 bags of imported rice, wrapped as a corpse, were seized recently, with one Moses Degbogbahun arrested in connection with the incident.
“The smuggler concealed the smuggled bags of rice in a Volvo ambulance with Reg. No. DV 74 EKY and he was arrested along Aradagun toll gate area of Badagry,” he said.
“The mobile patrol team led by Chief Superintendent of Customs M. Ozah noted the frequent movement of the ambulance and this aroused curiosity of the team, and the vehicle was stopped for proper examination.
“During the examination, 11 bags of imported rice were discovered and they were carefully arranged and wrapped as a corpse. The suspect is still undergoing investigation for possible prosecution.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteEnter your comment...I am not in support of smuggling of rice or any product into the Country. It would have been done true processes and not imposing hardship on the citizen. When these things we are fighting for is almost ready you can then put a total stop on their importation. This and nothing much is causing the major problem facing the country at the moment
