Explosives from South Africa seized in Lagos

Officials of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) command and other security agencies were shocked yesterday when they discovered 11 cartons of explosives carefully packaged to beat security checks.
 The lethal weapons, which were literally abandoned at the Nigeria Aviation Company Limited (NAHCO),warehouse weighed 95 kilogrammes.

 The cartons, labelled cartridge powder devices and chargers were flown in from South Africa since February 24, 2012, but vigilant personnel at the NAHCO warehouse alerted security agencies to further look into the cargo, judging from the crooked way the importer handled the clearing process.
 The NAHCO staff observed that the importer wanted to smuggle them out of the cargo terminal without properly declaring the items.
