Nigerians have been advised to be vigilant of the
activities of smugglers at this yuletide season as all
kinds of consumable are being smuggled into the country.
Controller incharge of Federal Operations Unit Zone ‘A’
Ikeja Lagos, Haruna Mammud, gave this advice during a
press briefing on the seizure of suspected Plastic Rice by
Officers of the Unit.
He said, “Today am happy to tell you that after our last
week press briefing, we intensified our operations in
search of the alleged “plastic rice” and with the support
of some patriotic Nigerians most especially a member of
the forth estate of the realm, we were able to locate
where this rice were stored for distribution to the public
as yuletide gift”.
“As I speak with you, we have successfully evacuated 102
bags of 25 kg branded Best Tomato Rice has no NAFDAC
Batch Number and manufacture/expiring dates.
Preliminary analysis on the rice after boiling shows that
the rice is sticky and plastic in nature. We are still
investigating to ascertain how many of this rice has been
circulated and how best to retrieve it in order to protect
and safeguard the health of Nigerians and to bring those
behind it to book”.
Compt. Haruna praised the commitment and diligence of
the officers and men of the FOU ‘A’ for living up to their
responsibilities. He also appreciated well-meaning
Nigerians who provided timely information that led to this
discovery and seizure.
He advised economic saboteurs who see yuletide season
as peak period for their nefarious acts to desist from
such illegal business as the Unit has devised other
operational modalities that will make them run for their
monies and count their loses.
