15 seized trucks of grains have been returned to their rightful owners by the Sokoto/Zamfara Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service.
Abdullahi Abubakar the command’s Public Relations Officer made the announcement on Tuesday via a statement signed and released by him.
According to him, the seized grains were returned following orders from president Tinubu.
Recall that President Tinubu ordered the Customs to give back all the seized food items at the border to their rightful owners.
The condition was that the items should be sold in Nigerian markets to help increase food availability.
The Controller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, had disclosed that Tinubu made the decision to use his authority not based on legal guidelines, “but rather reflecting the deep sense of generosity he holds towards Nigeria.”
