Customs Disposes 10,000 Bags Of Expired Rice
The Nigeria Customs Service, Western Marine Command, has concluded plans to evacuate over 10,000 bags of expired smuggled rice from its warehouse after two years of interception.
The marine command which recently impounded about 342 bags of rice along the creeks, explained that the expired staple food in large quantities would be evacuated to animal farm across the country.
Our correspondent confirmed that the latest seizures of rice has no facility for warehousing as all the buildings at the command have been stockpiled with bags of rice.
The Tide’s investigation also revealed that the warehouse can accommodate an approximate 20,000 bags of rice at once.
The Tide reports that the buildings at the command are supposedly meant for personnel’s accommodation but bags of rice have invaded the whole facilities.
