On Monday, the Nigerian Customs Services (NCS) intercepted a 40ft container filled with various types of arms and nine containers loaded with codeine at Onne Port, Rivers State.

The Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, presented the seized weapons and drugs to the press in Onne, Rivers State.

Adeniyi revealed that the weapons and drugs were brought into the country from Turkey. They were concealed within shipments of fairly used clothes, a tactic often employed to evade detection.

The interception highlights the ongoing efforts of the NCS to combat illegal smuggling and ensure the security and well-being of the nation.
