Navy intercepts 7 boats loaded with bags of rice on Badagry Creek 

The Nigerian Navy’s  Forward Operating Base in Badagry, Lagos State, has intercepted seven fibre boats loaded with several bags of foreign parboiled rice on the Badagry Porto-Novo creek.

A reliable source told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Badagry on Sunday that the smugglers were intercepted by personnel of the FOB on Saturday .

The source said that on sighting the Navy some occupants of the boats jumped into the water, while few were arrested.

“However, they were hungry boat boys used by smugglers engaged in their nefarious activities,” he said.

The Voice Media Trust (VMT NEWS) reports that FOB Badagry has not issued any statement on the interception.

VMT NEWS reports that since the new Commanding Officer, Capt. Leye Omotayo, assumed Command of FOB, Badagry, operations have been intensified on the waterways with a 24- hour patrol.

VMT NEWS also reports more synergy and collaboration between the Nigerian Navy and other law enforcement agencies as well as with the host community in their collective efforts at tackling smuggling activities in the border area.
