The Nigeria Customs Service, Tin Can Island Command, on Tuesday, intercepted a container laden with 440 arms and ammunition of various sizes and designs.

Speaking about the seizure, the zonal commander, Tin Can Island command, Monday Abue, who represented the Comptroller-General, NCS, Col. Hameed Ali (retd.), said that the cargo was shipped from Turkey.

He said that the consignment was declared as Plaster of Paris by the importer….(can you just imagine?)

According to him, the pump-action rifles were manufactured in the United States of America and Italy.
