NCS denies intercepting 200,000 live ammunitions on Wawa-Babana border

Nigeria Customs Service, Niger/Kogi Command has denied a report on social media and dailies alleging that the command seized a truck load of 200,000 live ammunitions along Wawa-Babana border.

A statement issued by the customs’ spokesman, DSC Ne Tangwa, stated that the seizure being referred to, happened some three years ago, adding that it was widely reported in newspapers and online platforms.

The statement read: “We wish to state clearly that the incident in reference took place about three years ago. The seizure was widely reported in Newspapers and many online platforms then.

“The latest re-circulation is therefore misleading and capable of causing unnecessary panics.

“It should therefore be ignored as the command has no such incident in recent time.”
