The Customs Area Controller, Comptroller B Oramalugo, in a chat with journalists, said the command intercepted different items worth N91,518,928 duty paid value within three weeks.
Items seized by the command include 189 bags of foreign parboiled rice, 71 bags of imported sugar, 42 bales of second-hand clothing and 36 sacks of used shoes.
The Comptroller however revealed that the seized PMS is going to be auctioned immediately after the briefing.
“It is disheartening that in spite of the humongous amount paid by government to make PMS available to citizens at a reasonable price, some unscrupulous citizens choose to divert the product to our neighbouring countries for their selfish financial benefits,” he said.
He said the command is equipped to carry out its duty as enshrined in Customs and Excise Management Act.
