‘Why Customs ‘rejected’ return of rice’
FACTS have emerged on why the Oyo/Osun Area Command of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS)
refused to accept the 1,800 bags of rice returned by the Oyo State Government.
The state government returned the rice last Wednesday, but the NCS Area Command in Ibadan refused to accept the returned rice.
It said only its national headquarters can direct it to collect the rice back. But The Nation gathered exclusively that the Customs would not collect the returned rice because of its possibility of infecting other bags still in the warehouses, because it was not ready to collect what it did not give out and because the state government did not follow procedure in returning the rice
