<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Briefing Journalists on Monday, Acting Controller at the command, Alhaji Dalhat Wada-Chedi, said: \u201cWe intercepted the money with the vehicle and also arrested the driver of the vehicle along Katsina-Jibia axis which is among the frontline areas affected by insecurity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis money was intercepted along the border area inside the booth of a Toyota Corolla vehicle following intensified effort of our operatives along that axis.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you know, the borders are still closed, and any person passing through the border must declare money above 10,000 dollars.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe brought the money, the suspect and the vehicle, and we deposited the money at the CBN after we reported to our headquarters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have offered an administrative bail to the suspect because the investigation is still ongoing; in fact we have transferred the case to the headquarters,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Wada-Chedi also told Journalists that the command also intercepted 230 parcels of Indian hemp worth more than N18.1 million.<\/p>

He added that the command intercepted eight vehicles with the total value of N14.4 million also this month, adding that smuggled rice, spaghetti, vegetable oil, potash and medicaments were also seized by the command in the course of November, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also intercepted cartons of foreign milk creamer, kegs and sacks of petroleum products, diesel, second-hand clothes and baby clothes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, pieces of three different types of jack knives and bags of tiger nuts with total value of N46.5 million were seized in November,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the month of November, we succeeded in arresting five suspects and different items worth over N176.4 million,\u2019\u2019 Wada-Chedi added.<\/p>\n
