Two hundred and two motorcycles have been intercepted from suspected bandits and their collaborators in Katsina State, the Nigeria Customs Service (NSC) has said
The acting controller of the state command, Chedi Wada, who disclosed this on Friday said the motorcycles, mostly Boxers and Jencheng models, were seized around forests close to border areas in August and September.
He said the motorcycles were used to convey petrol, food items, and smuggled items to bandits in the forest.
“Most of the people we seized the machines from fled and no one came to claim the motorcycles,’’ the controller said.
Wada said the command is working hard to ensure no contraband or illegal item is brought into the country through any of the borders in the state.
