Uncategorized $Zero Tolerance for Substandard Imports as KLT Customs Records Major Seizures By Lucy Nyambi The Nigeria Customs Service, Kirikiri Lighter Terminal Area Command, has reaffirmed its zero-tolerance stance against the importation of substandard and non-compliant goods following the interception of expired raw materials and falsely declared consignments at the port. Addressing journalists during a media briefing at the Command on Friday, 23 January 2026, the Acting Customs Area Controller (Ag. CAC), Deputy Comptroller of Customs (DC) Bolaji Adigun, said the Command remains committed to facilitating legitimate trade while firmly enforcing Customs laws to protect public health and national revenue. DC Adigun announced the seizure of a 1×20-foot container, number GESU3900612, containing 440 bags of 25kg expired raw material identified as Triple Pressed Stearic Acid imported from Indonesia, with a Duty Paid Value of ₦36,556,539. He said the interception occurred during a routine cargo examination and that the item was found to be in violation of import regulations. In a related enforcement action, the Ag. CAC disclosed that officers of the Command also intercepted a 1×40-foot container, MSKU 4798018, at Joliz Terminal. “The container was falsely declared as zipped luggage but was found to contain empty suitcases with a DPV of ₦5,010,000. This seizure reinforces our zero-tolerance stance against false declaration, smuggling and other trade infractions,” he noted. On revenue performance, DC Adigun said the Command generated ₦147,216,149,033.81 in 2025, surpassing its target of ₦109,442,892,919.86. He added that the figure represents a significant increase over the ₦107.18 billion recorded in the same period of 2024. “The Command remains steadfast in facilitating legitimate trade while decisively enforcing Customs laws. Stakeholders and the general public are assured that the Command will continue to block revenue leakages, combat illegal importation, and support national health and security objectives throughout the year,” Adigun stated. The expired raw materials were handed over to a representative of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control for further investigation. Upon receiving the items, the Chief Regulatory Officer of NAFDAC, Oluwaseun Ogunjimi, commended the NCS for its sustained collaboration with the agency. “Let me first commend the Nigeria Customs Service for this wonderful collaboration and the synergy we have enjoyed over time. This has helped greatly in preventing substandard, expired, and falsified products from entering Nigerian markets,” Ogunjimi said. He assured that the consignment would be completely destroyed after the conclusion of necessary investigations.$
