The Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) has denied any wrong-doing in the recent raid on some shops in Yaba, Lagos, stating that the action is backed by law. This is as it revealed that in the coming weeks, similar raids will be carried out on clothing shops scattered across the country. He also revealed that in the next few weeks, similar raids will occur in another part of the country. “The Customs is regulated by the CEMA Act, which allows Customs operatives to forcefully break into any compound or building once there is an intelligence report of contraband in such building. “The joint border drill, Operation Swift Response had intelligence report of contraband goods in Yaba, and we moved in swiftly.
