Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Tin Can Island command, on Saturday, intercepted a container suspected to be laden with arms and ammunition.<\/p>\n

The Public Relations Officer of the command, Mr Uche Ejesieme, confirmed the interception to NAN.<\/p>\n

According to Ejesieme, the container was intercepted on Friday in one of the port\u2019s terminals during routine examination.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing this development, the command intimated the terminal operators and requested that the suspected container be transferred to our enforcement unit for 100 per cent examination.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis suffices that the information is still sketchy but we do hope that comprehensive information will be made available after the 100 per cent examination.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing, we will communicate officially to the customs management as well our zonal coordinator in line with service protocol,\u201d Ejesieme said.<\/p>\n

Ejesieme, therefore, seeked for calm as the command tries to get critical information on which a report on the incident would be based.<\/p>\n
