WASHINGTON: Operatives of Ogun Customs Area Command have intercepted a brand new 2017 Porsche car from suspected smugglers in Abeokuta, the State capital.
The spokesman of the Command, Mr Abdullahi Maiwada said the car was being conveyed through the bush paths in Ijoun community, Yewa North Local Government Area, when vigilant operatives of the Command sighted them and pursued the smugglers till they abandoned the car and fled. He said: ‘’The Duty Paid Value (DPV) of the car is over N70 million. The culprits ran away and abandoned the car, after our men gave them a chase inside the bush. “ We have since moved the car to our Abeokuta officer for proper safe keeping. The Controller of the Command, Comptroller Sani Madugu has warned those involved in smuggling activities to desist from the nefarious business in their own interest. ‘’Madugu said the Command will continue to smoke out and arrest smugglers wherever they are hiding in the State, without minding whose ox is gored.’’
