The Nigeria Customs Service -NCS, has just refuted allegations, making rounds that the sale of overdue cargoes in its custody was compromised.
The seized items included cars and machine accessories among others.
The service’s deputy comptroller and national public relations officer, Timi Bomodi, clarified a chat with journalists on Sunday, October 23, in Abuja.
Timi had said: “All the seizures that are made as a result of a prolonged stay at the port among other reasons, have prescribed ways of removing them. If you make seizures, you have to look for condemnation in court. It is after the condemnation that you have the authority to auction the seized items out.”
“This is so that when we put these vehicles out there, we will know that we are meeting the aspirations of the people and expectations of government,” Timi concluded.
