Nigeria Customs officials intercepted kegs of rice disguised as palm oil.
The Customs boss said smugglers were arrested at Idiroko bush, on the border between Nigeria and Benin along the Lagos-Badagry-Porto Novo highway, while trying to smuggle the kegs of rice.
A shared online video shows how the smugglers disguised the rice to make it look like palm oil. In the video the keg ‘s inner cover is seen with palm oil drops inside. A palm oil nylon is also inserted in the keg ‘s mouth, so that anyone who dips a finger into the keg touches palm oil.
However, when the nylon of palm oil is removed, it exposes the grains of rice concealed inside the kegs.
