CoverKudos & Knocks Knocks: The Wharf Rats as king By maritimemag August 24, 2019 ShareTweet 0 "A jagged black hole with cracked and crazed glass reveals the workings of a thief in the night, during the morning after. One more car crime on the streets of London.More smashed windows / broken glass:" Wharf Rats now hold sway in the port in recent time. The cases of container pilfering is on the increase and nothing is yet done neither has anyone been nabbed as a result. This development is enough to send jitters across the nation because if wharf rats can enter the ports and terminals as secured as they seemed, then any other illegal entrants can make their ways into the port. Nigerian Ports Authority has said it had little or nothing to do as the terminal operators are to take responsibilities for the security of their terminals. It started with Ports and Cargo and Five Star. It has now gotten to Hannover bonded terminal in Tincan. If these unknown individuals whose aim is to vandalize containers belonging to importers, could have unfettered access, then insurgents can make their ways into the port without much hassle. Even though NPA promised to synergise with terminal operators on the matter, the pilfering still persists while the operators are bereft of ideas on what to do. © 2019, maritimemag.
