28 Customs Officers Detained Over Seized Arms

Following the interception of over 1,500 arms of various sizes and designs, the Nigeria Customs Service yesterday arrested and detained 28 officers working at the Tin-Can Island Command of the Service.

The agency made good its promise to fish out and prosecute officers involved in the plan to clear a container laden with arms and ammunition. Officers of the command have become jittery as a result of the action of the Customs management as Vanguard gathered that many more officers are likely to be axed as a result of the development.
