The raid, led by the Comptroller, Kamardeen Olumoh, resulted in the seizure of many bags of foreign rice and the arrest of three suspects.
The customs personnel, with reinforcement from the police, stormed the commercial border town main market around 11am and raided many shops and stores. Speaking on the development, the Comptroller said the raid was in compliance with a directive from the Comptroller-General of the service in Abuja. He said, “The menace of smuggling around this axis has been alarming for quite some time. The Comptroller-General of Customs ordered that the operations be carried out, that Mubi market must be mopped up of all smuggled items, especially foreign rice.
Olumoh said, “Today, we are in the market and we are able to evacuate large quantity of rice and this is a clear signal to smugglers.“We are backed by the law. Section 147 of Customs and Excise Management Act has given us the power to enter or search premises day or night, to break and enter, make arrest; in fact, without warrant and that is exactly what we did today.”Most traders spoken to after the raid condemned the action of the customs, as they counted their losses.All rights reserved.
Please go and raid Katsina for foreign rice.

I believe it will come to a period in Nigeria were rice will be sold 5k for a bag. God bless Nigeria

Disgraceful institution 😪🤢
I have bags in my house come and search......me that I'm looking 4 sum1 to beat
I think there is a good home produced rice now available, I do the marketers go for it
BrownKaftan Very soon it'll be to raid homes for foreign rice.
Will Immigration return the rice to the production countries and get back the traders monies
It's glaring that custom offiicals are either compromised or lack the managerial & technical know-how to curb menace of smuggling. If custom officers search for foreign rice in markets, who search for weapons & drugs in houses? It's time to nip in the bud & avoid scratches!
This people no get work them go kill who na soon
Rubbish
I bought half bag of our local rice. Full of stones and other particles. I stopped eating it becos no pleasure involve. Yet you want to enforce this same product on us. Invest in our local rice and make it better. Then watch if foreign rice would exist.
This is embarrassing to thier profession why not make sure they don’t get past the borders first. This people have damaged every reputable system in this country
See officers that are meant to be at the borders raiding markets
Same opportunity was given to SARS officer
Jobless men in uniform
Inflicting more pains to Nigerians..too bad..wrong policies..
Mopping up of all smuggled items, especially foreign rice, that has left the borders. How did it cross over to the market in the first place? I hope, they understand the chains of production quite well.
This is totally unacceptable. When we have custom in all our borders preventing illegal importation what business do they have raiding people business.
What na.. Inside market again?..
make provision for the poor before raiding for rice market 😡
Good one, plz keep it up
