The Seme Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has announced the
arrest of two men, Taofiq Oyewale and Segun Oyinola, who allegedly
disguised a smuggled L450 Jeep with posters of a dead person as though
they were on a burial procession.
While announcing the arrest in a statement on Tuesday, the Public
Relations Officer of the command, Taupyen Selchang, said that this was a
new strategy adopted by the smugglers to evade the operatives of the
NCS.
Selchang said that smugglers also used waste disposal truck as tool of disguise, adding that men of the command examined a waste disposal truck and found 534 pieces of used tyres.
According toPunch,said the two suspects arrested in connection with the crime were undergoing interrogation and prosecution by the legal department of the service.
The statement quoted the Area Controller, Seme Command, NCS, Mohammed Aliyu, as saying that no amount of antics devised by smugglers would go undetected by the officers.
He added that implementing the policy of the Federal Government on the ban of new and fairly used vehicles through the land border was a task that must be done by officers of the command.
