Fisayo Soyombo took to X to write an open letter accusing customs officers of colluding with smugglers.

The investigative journalist claims customs officers planned to bring in 2,000 cars containing at least 65 bags of rice each into Nigeria from Benin Republic.

He went on the explain how this alleged operation was supposed to happen.

He shared the claim on X late Sunday night, Nov. 10 and claimed that’s when the operation was set to happen, unless his public post prompts a changed of plans.

He added that Nigerians will be watching when customs would claim to have seized bags of rice later this week.

He shared videos of cars loaded with bags of rice alongside his tweet.

Soyombo wrote on X: “Good evening, @CustomsNG.

“I am aware that your officers have colluded with smugglers to move well over 130,000kg of rice from Benin Republic into Nigeria tonight, Sunday November 11, 2024.

“All is set. Your men, working with Adeyemi Habeeb Abdulganiy, the multi billionaire-smuggler better known as Abuga, are primed to pass more than 2,000 cars containing at least 65 bags of rice each from Bebe in Benin Republic into Sango, Nigeria.

“Some of these cars will enter Sango from the toll gate by driving against traffic, consequently endangering lives, while some will gain entry into Sango through Ifo; others will use the Oju-Ore-Ota route.

“Road users in Sango can expect traffic congestion early tomorrow morning unless this post prompts an about-face from the actors.

“I understand as well that soldiers from the 192 battalion at Owode will be patrolling during the journey to prevent any resistance.

“So, @CustomsNG, just so you know, the people are watching; they will be hysterically laughing at you when you announce “seizure of one million bags of rice and 25 cartons of guns” later his week.”
