Allegation of Corruption: Nigerian Customs and the 130,000kg Rice Smuggling Scandal

Investigative journalist Fisayo Soyombo has made a serious allegation against the Nigeria Customs Service, claiming that some customs officers have collaborated with smugglers to bring over 130,000 kilograms of rice into Nigeria from Benin Republic.

In a video statement, Soyombo disclosed his findings, indicating that he has evidence of this collusion, which reportedly facilitates rice smuggling into Nigeria despite the government’s efforts to control imports and boost local rice production.
