    Customs denies allegation of Poisoned rice linked to deaths in Lagos

    Customs denies allegation of Poisoned rice linked to deaths in Lagos

    The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Seme Area Command, has refuted widespread allegations that it seized and distributed bags of poisoned rice, which allegedly led to multiple deaths — including that of a soldier in Badagry, Lagos State.

    In a statement released by the Customs Public Relations Officer, Isah Sulaiman, the Command described the claims as “false, misleading, and entirely baseless.” The viral reports alleged that bags of rice confiscated and later released by Customs were poisoned, supposedly resulting in fatal outcomes after a traditional curse was placed by the unknown owner.

    Sulaiman dismissed the story as pure fabrication, stating that the Seme Area Command follows the Nigeria Customs Service’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for handling and disposing of seized goods. These procedures, he said, are anchored in transparency, due process, and legal compliance.

     

    “The Command wishes to categorically state that this narrative is entirely false, misleading, and does not reflect the reality of the matter,” he stated.

    Sulaiman also confirmed that there had been no reported deaths either within the Command’s jurisdiction or among its personnel — connected to the consumption of any distributed rice. He condemned the originators of the story, accusing them of spreading misinformation under the pretense of journalism.

     

    “Unfortunately, some unscrupulous elements wearing the garment of journalism have chosen to disinform members of the public with baseless, fictitious, and malicious accusations,” he added.

     

    The Seme Command urged members of the public to disregard the false reports and refrain from sharing misinformation that could cause panic or damage the integrity of law enforcement agencies.

    Under the leadership of Comptroller Ben Oramalugo, PhD, the Seme Area Command reaffirmed its commitment to revenue generation, combating smuggling, and facilitating legitimate trade all in line with national policies and legal standards.
