Officers of the Nigerian Naval Base in the Epe area of Lagos State have intercepted a major smuggling operation along the Epe-Ijebu-Ode Expressway.
The Executive Officer of the Naval Base, Commander Chukwudi Atuba, made this known in a statement sent to reporters on Monday.
He stated that the operation took place on January 22 based on intelligence reports indicating the movement of illicit goods while the patrol team swiftly acted, successfully thwarting the smuggling attempt.
According to him, six vehicles laden with smuggled foreign rice were intercepted during the operation while the suspects fled in the process.

“In executing our statutory responsibilities, the Naval Base Epe intercepted six vehicles laden with smuggled foreign rice. On sighting our team, the suspects abandoned their vehicles and fled into the bush, leaving behind the contraband,” he stated.
He stated that the contraband, comprising 213 bags of foreign rice, was officially handed over to the Nigerian Customs Service for further action.
Atuba further disclosed that the official handover of the smuggled goods was conducted by Navy Lieutenant AS Bello, who transferred custody of the 213 bags of foreign rice to Deputy Comptroller Odoemenah, representing Comptroller Olajide of the Federal Operations Unit, Zone A, Ikeja.
Atuba, however, issued a stern warning to smugglers and criminal elements, urging them to desist from their illicit activities.
“The Nigerian Navy, in line with the mission and vision of Vice Admiral Ikechukwu Ogala, remains resolute and determined to rid the environment of all illegalities,” he stated.
“To foster inter-agency cooperation, we are officially handing over the seized bags of rice to the Nigerian Customs Service for further necessary action.”
He also warned that criminal elements should steer clear of the Epe-Ijebu-Ode Expressway, the Epe area, and the surrounding environs, as the Navy remains vigilant.
“Smugglers should understand that these activities will not benefit them. The Nigerian Navy is determined to rid the maritime environment and other areas under its jurisdiction of illegality,” Atuba reiterated.
