Tinubu directs Nigerian Customs to return seized food items to owners

President Bola Tinubu has directed the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to return food items that were confiscated at border communities to owners on the condition that they would be sold in the Nigerian markets to boost food sufficiency.

This was disclosed Saturday by the Comptroller General of the NCS, Adewale Adeniyi, during an interface with residents of border communities in Kongolam and Mai’Adua border stations.

Mr Adeniyi hinted that the president has decided to exercise his power “according to the feelings of magnanimity that he has for Nigeria”, contrary to what the law stipulates.
