According to Mohammed Garba, the
Customs Area Controller, the operation was carried out based on intelligence
reports and ownership of the vehicles remains a mystery as nobody has come

are 2017 models ranging from Toyota Prado Jeeps, Lexus Jeeps, Toyota Hilux,
Toyota Camry, Coaster Bus, Toyota Hiace Bus among others currently under
detention awaiting relevant customs document from the dealers within a grace of

“Some are even bullet-proof which
require End User Certificates from the Office of the National Security Adviser,
NSA.
“We removed these (Bullet Proof)
vehicles from a hidden house in Ikoyi while others were gotten from a car park
in FESTAC.
“Investigation will reveal
further those behind the clearance of these vehicles and (they) must face the
full wrath of the law.”
