Displaying the seized items on Tuesday, the comptroller of the command, Ahmad Nasiru, said the suspects were presently on administrative bail as investigation was on going, adding that the seizures were within the last two months.

He said smugglers are economic saboteurs whose acts are inimical to the growth and development of the nation.

He said Nigerians must all work together to ensure their operations are brought to the barest level.

“I want to implore all people to provide us with useful and credible information that will be used in confidence to address operations and activities of these smugglers,” he appealed.
