Nigeria In One Minute
It’s illegal for customs to be on South East roads -Lawyer
Second Vice President of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) and human rights lawyer, Monday Ubani has condemned too many Customs roadblocks along Lagos-Ore-Benin-Onitsha Road, describing it as illegal.
In a telephone interview with Daily Sun, Ubani said it was an aberration that Customs allowed contraband goods to
enter through the borders “only to mount roadblocks along the roads leading to a particular section of the country and start
confiscating goods that had been cleared or have been illegally allowed to enter the country.”
He advised Customs to strengthen security around the borders and ensure that contraband products are not allowed in, instead of engaging in illegality.
