there are still others insistent on operating in the ports despite being barred. they include Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) among others. besides, there are other security operatives who still patrol outside the ports. In spite of all this number of security operatives, a 40-foot container of such magnitude disappeared from the ports and scaled through all the checkpoints mounted by this hordes of security men and women.
Already, the commissioner of Police, Lagos Ports Command, Celestine Okoye, has directed his detectives to trace the location of the missing container and arrest both the importer and others connected with the importation within 24 hours. the search for the container which came on the heels of wanton killings in the country by suspected herdsmen and kidnappers dressed in military camouflage has placed both the police and custom officials on ac ollision course after CP Okoye vowed to get to the root of the matter. Angered by this sudden disappearance, stakeholders have called for a probe into the issue insisting that the container did not fly out of the ports but was cleared by appropriate authorities. An importer, Mr Eddy Akwaeze did not agree that the container flew out of the port. he said that the container is owned by high profile members of the society. he said the container was not examined. people are serving their pockets, he said. ‘Somebody somewhere planned the exit of the container.They know what happened.Nobody is serving Nigeria.people are serving their villages and tribes’ he said. Another Importer who spoke on condition of anonymity said that apart from calling for the installation of scanners in the ports, the Controller General of Customs’ compliance team or what is now called strikeforce, should be strengthened.
