The Nigeria Customs Service Anti-smuggling Taskforce today in Kano arrested three Chinese nationals for illegally importing printed textile materials worth billions of Naira to Nigeria.
The leader of the taskforce and Deputy Controller of Customs, Hassan Shallangwa, disclosed this while briefing newsmen in Kano. He said the suspects were apprehended during a specially arranged operation following a tip-off.
“The four persons were arrested in connection with the illegal printed textiles materials,” he said.
The suspects illegally stored the materials at six warehouses at Gandun Albasa commercial layout in Kano metropolis, while 20 other warehouses located in the vicinity are suspected to also have the imported printing textile.
Mr. Shallangwa said as soon as investigation was completed, the suspects would be charged to court for proper prosecution.
Wow! Nigeria is so porous that illegal immigrants can also do importation illegally here, whereas a foreigner can't even drive a vehicle in their country. What a shame!
