The Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, has handed over the six mine-resistant and multi-purpose military vehicles intercepted en route Niger Republic to American government.

While performing the handing-over ceremony in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, the Customs Comptroller in charge of Adamawa and Taraba States, Kamardeen Olumoh, said the handing-over was a directive from the office of the National Security Adviser, NSA.

Mr Olumoh said: “I am directed from the National Security Adviser to comply, release and hand over the vehicles to the American government.”

DAILY NIGERIAN reports that the vehicles were received by Kathleen FitzGibbon, the Deputy Chief of Mission, Embassy of United States of America in Nigeria, alongside security Attaché of the American Embassy including Major Peter Shayborn of the US Air Force.

In her reaction, Mrs FitzGibbon thanked the Nigerian government for the understanding, adding that the vehicles were en route to The Niger Republic for a security mission.

“Nigeria and America have good relation and understanding and the vehicles were en route to the Niger Republic for security mission,” Mrs FitzGibbon said.

She, therefore, commended the Nigerian government for the well-keeping of the vehicles, saying that the American Air force Carrier would transport the vehicles to Niger Republic.

shocked


What the fvck?
This is just like a beggar returning a 100naira note to Dangote.
Was this not the same reason Solomon Dalung refused to return FIFA's money?

They should have seized it for their own battle in the NorthEast.
America would never do the same if the reverse were the case.A smuggled good is smuggled good plus the integrity of the Nigerian borders was undermined.

America would have lost no sleep replacing those military vehicles but apparently, our Government don't care so much about the war on terror.

The Nigeria Government definitely knew those MRAPS were on official trip to NIGER. But the current Government loves selling propaganda to its gullible fans grin

Probably, this American govt may be one of those sponsoring this boko boys, how will you smuggled this kind of military trucks entered independent nation without informing the govt, without this total closure of the border they will have smuggled it without notice by anybody, NA only God known the number of arms and ammunition they had smuggled through our borders and since when this kind of thing had been going on
