Kaduna—THERE was tension yesterday, as angry car dealers set ablaze Nigerian Customs Service, NCS, patrol vehicle, following a clash with customs’ officials in Kaduna metropolis.
Car dealers set Customs’ vehicle ablaze
The officials had gone to a car mart on Rabah Road, Kaduna North Local Government Area, at about 3p.m., to impound vehicles without import duties from car dealers, when the clash occurred.
However, a swift intervention by the Kaduna State security outfit, code-named Operation Yaki, saved the situation from degenerating further.
An eyewitness explained that the officials had gone to a car dealer’s showroom, identified six luxury cars that they said have no valid papers and towed four of them away.
However, before they came back for the other two, the dealers had whisked them out of the mart and mobilised their members to confront the men of the Nigerian Custom.
