Customs Generates ₦19.4bn in June, Intercepts ₦809m Expired Vape Products at Kirikiri
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Kirikiri Lighter Terminal Area Command, generated ₦19.4 billion in revenue in June 2026 while intercepting a 40-foot container loaded with expired disposable vape products with a Duty Paid Value (DPV) of ₦809.7 million.
The Acting Customs Area Controller of the Command, Deputy Comptroller of Customs (DC) Bolaji Adigun, disclosed this on Thursday, July 30, 2026, while briefing journalists at the command.
According to him, the command collected a total of ₦19,404,925,103 in June 2026, representing a significant increase from the ₦14,363,621,664.35 generated during the corresponding period in 2025.
DC Adigun attributed the improved revenue performance to the commitment of officers and men of the command, increased compliance by stakeholders, enhanced trade facilitation and the deployment of intelligence-driven strategies.
Highlighting the command’s enforcement activities, the Acting Controller revealed that Customs officers intercepted a 40-foot container containing disposable vape products that had expired between 2022 and 2026.
He said the seized products, valued at ₦809,698,761 in Duty Paid Value, were unfit for use and posed significant risks to public health.
“The Kirikiri Lighter Terminal Area Command will continue to deploy intelligence-driven operations, effective risk management and stringent cargo examination procedures to detect and intercept expired, falsely declared, prohibited and other non-compliant goods,” Adigun said.
He added that the command would continue to strengthen its enforcement efforts while supporting national economic growth, public health and security.
In line with established procedures, the intercepted consignment was handed over to the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) for further action.
Receiving the seized products, the Assistant Director, Port Health, NAFDAC, Dr Peter Anzaku, described the operation as a demonstration of effective inter-agency collaboration.
He stressed that protecting public health requires close cooperation between regulatory agencies and the Customs Service to ensure that only safe and properly regulated products enter the country.
The latest seizure highlights the continued efforts of government agencies to strengthen border control, improve regulatory compliance and protect Nigerians from potentially harmful products.
