Abdullahi explained that the container carrying the books was released pursuant to a recent court order lifting the ban against its distribution.
“Customs got the initial order of the court to stop the container and now that the court asks us to release the container, so be it,” he said while speaking to journalists at the commissioning of two new patrol boats in Lagos.
