At a news conference at the unit’s headquarters in Kaduna, the Comptroller, Ahmadu Shuaibu, declared the resolve of the Customs to not allow illegal trading in endangered wildlife species and smuggling in the Zone. Towards this end, he said the operatives of the FOU have upped the ante in the combat against smuggling of protected species and acting on intelligence, they stormed a hideout known as slaughter house in the suburbs of Zuru Town in Kebbi State on May 24, this year about 1600hours.He said the team discovered and evacuated sacks of pangolin scales which were transported to the HQ of FOU Zone ‘B’ in Kaduna and after careful examination and counting, the pangolin scales weighed 445.45kg.
“The pangolin species is one of the endangered species that is protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flaura . It is instructive that Nigeria is signatory to the CITES Convention and all forms of trading in this species are clearly illegal.The Nigeria Customs Service will continue to partner CITES to forestall the identified species from going into extinction.
