The
Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs Services, Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali
said that Nigerians are eating expired foreign rice re-bag and brought into the
country.
Col. Hameed said that the Nigerian Customs must
reach out to Nigerians through the press to make them know the deadly effect of
what they are consuming.
He made these remarks on Wednesday during his
inspection tour of Area 1 Command, Port Harcourt and Area 2 Command of the
Nigeria Customs Service, Onne.
The customs boss said,
”We are
consuming expired foreign rice and when it causes cancer, we begin to look for
who to blame. What they do is that they polish the rice, re-bag them for
unsuspecting consumers. That is what we eat.
”We (Nigeria Customs Service) must reach out to Nigerians
through the media and make them know the deadly effect of what they are
consuming.”
Ali also said that the closure of the nation’s
border would attract long term gains, which requires Nigerians to make
sacrifices.
