Customs intercept another 55 riffles, ammunition from Turkey at Lagos airport
Customs intercept another 55 riffles, ammunition from Turkey at Lagos airport
Less than 48 hours after intercepting a container of arms at Onne Port, Rivers State, the Comptroller General of Customs (CGC), Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, announced another significant seizure at Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA), Lagos.
This latest interception involved 55 unassembled pieces of Jojef Magnum semi-automatic shotguns and a cache of ammunition, all imported from Turkey with a Duty Paid Value (DPV) of N270 million.
The consignment, discovered at the cargo section of MMA, was concealed within a shipment that included military hardware and accouterments.
Acting on credible intelligence, Customs officials conducted a thorough examination and found the illicit items hidden in packages disguised as shower faucets. One suspect has been apprehended and is aiding in the ongoing investigation.
The CGC highlighted recent successes in arms seizures across Nigeria, underscoring the proactive measures taken by Customs to combat illegal arms trafficking.

He emphasized that Nigerian collaborators in Turkey were identified as sourcing and exporting these illicit arms, utilizing new methods to evade detection.
In addition to the firearms, the Customs Command at MMA also seized military and paramilitary equipment valued at N1.29 billion.
This included drones, ballistic vests, helmets, walkie talkies, and various military insignia. These items were imported without the necessary end-user certificates, further complicating their legality under Nigerian law.
Concluding his statement, the CGC affirmed that all seized items would be transferred to the National Centre for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons for further investigation and prosecution.
He assured the public of Customs’ commitment to securing Nigeria’s borders and preventing threats to national security and economic stability.

Stop posting camp activities on social media, NYSC DG warns Corpers
Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has issued a stern warning to corps members to refrain from posting camp activities on social media. He emphasized that sharing such content violates the scheme’s standing rules and policies.
During a Friday visit to the NYSC Orientation Camp in Ede, Osun, Ahmed advised corps members to maintain good character and discipline throughout the three-week orientation exercise. He encouraged them to focus on the skills acquisition programme offered in the camp, which aims to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to become self-reliant and successful after their service year.

The D-G assured the corps members of their safety and security, stating that camp officials would never post them to unsafe locations. “You are important to us. Protect yourself against any danger and stay vigilant. Take precautionary measures to ensure your safety,” he added.
Ahmed also advised the corps members to maintain the highest hygiene standards while in camp to prevent diseases, especially cholera. He urged them to be good ambassadors of the NYSC wherever they are posted.
The NYSC State Coordinator in Osun, Mr. Agbor Obim, expressed gratitude to the D-G for his visit and for his care and attention to the corps members.
