The Apapa Command of Nigeria Customs Service has impounded a forty foot container laden with Tilapia Fish from Turkey
Addressing newsmen in Lagos, Customs Area Controller of the Command, Jibrin Musa, disclosed that the importer declared apples as the content of the container before scanning proved it to be 2700 cartons of prohibited frozen fish.
Jibrin told journalists that aside the offence of false declaration, the import also contravened the law as it failed the requirement for license and quota expected for importers of allowable fish species into Nigeria.
