He said that the command intercepted the contrabands, which were concealed in DAF trucks, during an operation on Monday.
“The seizure was part of the command’s ongoing efforts to curtail the smuggling of prohibited items into the country, thereby protecting public safety and promoting the integrity of the Nigerian economy,” Oramalugo said.
Oramalugo explained that the used tyres were discovered during a routine stop-and-search operation conducted by the command.
“Upon inspection, the tyres were found hidden in a DAF truck in an attempt to evade detection by law enforcement officers,” he said.
Oramalugo pointed out that importation and smuggling of used tires into the country is illegal adding that it has posed a significant risk to public safety due to its worn-out nature.
