If you’ve been following the trend of things, then you must have read
the strange story of how some container loads of assorted riffles developed
wings and found their way out of the Apapa quay in Lagos yesterday with the aim
of taking them to circulation but for the quick intervention of the Field
Operation Unit-FoU which quickly nipped
it in the bud.
At least for once, the authority has stood up to the challenge this time
as a panel headed by Dan Ugo of the DCG, Investigation and Inspection has been
set up to unravel the mystery behind the imported rifles. During its findings,
the panel found two men of the customs culpable of the offence and the
officers, Abdullahi I. with service number 44483ASC and Odiba Haruna Inah
service number 133386ACIC are said to have ran away.
In a release signed by Dan Ugo with the photographs of the criminal
minded officers affixed and made available to the media, the two men have been declared
wanted, ‘The above customs officers are wanted in connection with the clearance
of 1x40ft Container No. PONU/825914/3 found to contain 661 action rifles. Whenever/wherever
seen, they should be arrested and taken to the nearest customs formation and
contact the undersigned immediately, please. 08033551952, 08035980568.
This prompt action by the customs command has been appreciated as a
welcome development but not without exposing the men behind the importation of
the container full of assorted rifles.
