President Muhammadu Buhari and
the Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Col. Hameed Ali (rtd)
will soon travel to Turkey for bilateral meeting Turkish Customs Authority over
the illegal importation of fire arms from the country.
Disclosing this to newsmen in
Abuja on Friday, the Deputy Comptroller-General of Customs, Aminu Dangaladima,
said the parley is aimed at finding a permanent solution to the problem.
Dangaladima said, “Let me seize
this opportunity to inform you that we are making progress on investigation in
the illegal arms importation.
“More arrests have been made and
the CGC will be on the entourage of Mr. President to Turkey for sideline
bilateral meeting with the Turkish Customs Authority.
“This is with the aim to
permanently deal and put an end to such deadly importation coming from Turkey.”
The NCS last month announced
the seizure of illegal of 2,671 pump action rifles illegally imported into
Nigeria from Turkey.
Against this backdrop, the
Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Halal Cakil recently vowed that his country would
fish out those behind the illegal arms shipment to Nigeria.
