Mr Aliyu said, “Under my watch, smuggling will no longer be safe for economic saboteurs.”
The tanker was intercepted on the Jibia Road on September 30 by the NCS’s special task force, ‘Operation Whirlwind.’
Mr Matawalle-Ibrahim said the command generated N25.6 million in September.
He urged officers to stay committed and intensify efforts to enhance national security.
He attributed the success recorded to inter agency collaboration and community engagement with stakeholders.
According to customs, Operation Whirlwind has yielded cumulative seizures of 245,370 litres of petrol valued at NGN238,140,000 in less than three months.
The coordinator of Operation Whirlwind said two vehicles of means of conveyance were intercepted along with the seizures.
He said that the NCS acknowledged the crucial role of intelligence provided by its partners.
