Smugglers supply petrol to bandits – Customs CG

The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Bashir Adeniyi, has revealed that smugglers of Premium Motor Spirit, also known as petrol, supply the product to bandits.

Adeniyi made this known on Wednesday during a press briefing where he paraded 500 Jerry cans and drums of PMS and later ordered their sale to the general public.

The Comptroller General, represented by the Assistant Comptroller General of Customs and national coordinator of Operation Whirlwind, Hussein Ejibunu, said the seized items were valued at N26 million.

“I am here in a twin capacity to represent the CG Custs on the discovery and arrest of these illicit items and I am equally the national coordinator of Operation Whirlwind nationwide, saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that our common patrimony, that is, the PMS, is not being taken out again.
