Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), said that the command intercepted a reversal pistol, four bullet and two Toyota Camry.

The Customs Area Controller of Tin-Can Island Command Yusuf Bashar disclosed this in Apapa, Lagos.

He said that the pistol was discovered in a Toyota Camry Solara a chases number 4TIFA38P46U065280 adding that another Toyota Matrix with chasis number 2TILE4EE08C013249 was also intercepted along the Camry Solara.

He said: “This will assist Customs for further investigation because the pistol is six round reversal type which could be dangerous.

“Customs will have handed it over to police but the vehicles arrived on Saturday July 16 at Five Star Logistics while the terminal operators alerted customs officers immediately they discover the pistol in the vehicle.”
