The Nigerian Navy says it has intercepted over 1300 bags of foreign parboiled rice at Majidun Community in Ikorodu West Local Government Area of Lagos State.

This was contained in a statement by the Base Information Officer, Nigerian Navy Ship Beecroft, Lieutenant Hussaini Ibrahim.

The Commander Nigerian Navy ship BEECROFT and Maritime Component Commander of Operation AWATSE, Commodore Paul Ponfa Nimmyel, reportedly disclosed this to journalists.

He said the seizure was made on Saturday, April 12, by Operation Awatse Team while conducting routine security and anti-smuggling operations within their Area of Operations.

“Some vehicles suspected to be involved in smuggling activities attempted to evade security at its check point, which necessitated a swift pursuit by the Operation AWATSE Quick Response Team (QRT) in accordance with the Joint Task Force’s Standard Operating Procedures,” the statement read.
