“We (customs) are giving Nigerians with fake customs papers grace to pay their duty or risk confiscation of their vehicles,” he said according to Daily Trust.

“I am waiting for the President Muhammadu Buhari, to give me the permission to ban importation of cars through land borders to curb smuggling,” he added.
