The Area 2 Command of the Nigeria Customs Service, Onne, Rivers State, said it has impounded drugs, including codeine, Hyergra and diclofenac worth N11,200,000.
The Area Controller, Mohammed Babandede, who displayed the impounded products before journalists on Thursday, said the drugs were concealed in a container loaded with 9,100 pieces of chilly cutters.
Babandede said, “Despite the warning of the Controller General of the Nigeria Customs Service against illegal smuggling, it’s unfortunate that some saboteurs have continued to engage in the unpatriotic act of undermining the importation processes, guidelines and procedures.”
