The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) Tin Can Island command reported on Wednesday that it had seized 145 kilogrammes of Indian hemp being smuggled into the nation by "merchants of death" in addition to eight containers filled with cutlasses. Oloyede claimed that the matchetes were seized because of national security concerns and that no end-user certificate from the NSA's office had been issued for the importation of such devices. Oloyede added that attempts were being made to find individuals responsible for the import.
