The Nigeria Customs Service says it has intercepted 420 kilograms of pangolin scales during a coordinated intelligence-led operation in a suburb of the Kano metropolis.
“There is the need for all of us to fight this scourge that wants to destroy the future of our youth because ‘tomorrow belongs to our youth’,” he said.
He stated that the command would continue to build a closer and more fruitful relationship with its neighbours.
Mr Ojo lauded the command’s officers and men for their cooperation and support.
The Nigeria Customs Service has reported raking in N28.4 billion in revenue from January to November this year from its Kaduna command.
The Kano area command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) said it generated revenue of N50.7 billion from January to May.
Mr Chana appealed to traditional rulers and stakeholders, especially those around the border areas, for support.
The customs boss said the seizures were made from different locations across Ogun and were mainly intelligence-driven.
Others were 10 big pieces and 19 small pieces of artifacts, one motorcycle used to convey prohibited items and 73 bales of second-hand clothing.
