The Kano/Jigawa Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), yesterday, at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, impounded some military uniforms allegedly brought from Saudi Arabia.
The command’s Customs Comptroller Sanusi Umar told reporters in Kano that the items comprised Nigerian Army and Air Force uniforms.
Umar said there were 20 shirts and 21 pairs of trousers of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) uniforms as well as two shirts and a pair of trousers of the Nigerian Army in the consignment.
He said two suspects have been arrested and are being interrogated.
According to him, the items were in a luggage that arrived the airport last Saturday through Trade Craft, an international airline.
Umar said a big box was found to be loaded with military uniforms during a routine inspection at the baggage hall of the airport.
He said: “From the inscription and telephone number on the gab, we were able to get the first suspect, Magaji Mohammed. He is a returnee pilgrim who claimed the luggage was given to him by one Suleiman, whom he reportedly met during pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. He said he was asked to deliver the consignment to his brother, Mohammed Auwal.”
