The Sokoto Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) on Tuesday said it intercepted 640 cartons of dangerous and unapproved sex enhancement drugs with the Duty Paid Value (DPV) of N914.8 million.

This was contained in the command’s press statement signed by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the command, Magaji Mailafiya,

He said that the drugs also known as “lady killer or AK47” were arrested following a tip-off along Illela-Kware road on the 24th of November.

The statement further enjoined Nigerians to cooperate with its operatives for the socio-economic growth of the country.

In the same vein, the Command had on the 25th of November arrested 3 Toyota Carina II vehicles with registration numbers AG 462 WSN, ER 415 ABJ and AZ 509 SRZ allegedly loaded with 132 Jerry Cans of 25kg Vegetable oil, 85 cartons of Tiger Head Batteries and 86 sacks of 25kg size Monosodium Glutamate around Achida/Goronyo axis.

Recall that the federal government has heightened its fight against smuggling which prompted it to partially close the land borders across the country to curtail littering the country with expired and poisonous items.
