Members of the Nigerian Senate at a plenary
The Senate on Thursday mandated its Committee on Customs, Tariff and Excise to investigate alleged unlawful raid of rice shops at Kayero Market, Sango Ota, Ogun by Nigeria Customs Service (NCS).
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that officials of the service were said to have raided the market on Feb. 22 and allegedly carted away goods and other commodities described as contraband.
The senate’s resolution followed a motion by Sen. Gbolahan Dada (Ogun-APC), who alleged that the Customs officers broke into shops and made away with goods worth billions of naira.
Dada argued that by the provisions of the Customs and Excise Management Act, the officers lacked constitutional and statutory powers to break into shops or premises without a valid court order or search warrant.
He said that by the provisions of the law, “even when such order or warrant is obtained, it must be executed in the presence of witnesses or concerned shop or premises owner.
Dada explained that the essence of that provision was to preserve the rule of law, avoid breakdown of law and order and prevent self-help remedies by aggrieved persons.
He said that the Sango Ota raid was not the first time officers of the service would engage in such perceived lawless action against Nigerian traders.
While condemning the act, Dada said that it was highly unconscionable for officers of Nigeria Customs Service to claim that the confiscated bags of rice and cartons of vegetable oil were smuggled products.
“The unlawful action of officers of Nigeria Customs Service for raiding shops indiscriminately and confiscating goods already in the country is becoming worrisome, disturbing and capable of breaching fragile peace we are enjoying in this country.
“If nothing is done by this hallowed chamber to stop unlawful raids of shops and confiscation of goods without obtaining valid court order or search warrant, a time is coming when Nigerians will resist such untoward action.”
In his contribution, Sen. Adamu Aliero (Kebbi-APC) opposed the motion, arguing that the Customs officers simply carried out their legitimate constitutional assignment and should not be queried by the parliament.
But, Sen. Murtala Nyako (Adamawa-APC) countered him, insisting that the matter must be investigated to ascertain the true position of the allegation, whether or not the officers acted within the law.
He pointed out that it was not proper for the officers to break into the shops of traders as alleged without authorization as specified by the law.
Nyako stressed that constituted authorities must respect the law of the land and the rights of citizens.
When put to voice vote by the Deputy President of the Senate, Sen. Ike Ekweremadu, who presided at the plenary, the motion was overwhelmingly supported and adopted.
Consequently, Ekweremadu directed the Committee of Customs, Tariffs and Excise to investigate the matter urgently.

Arsene Wenger was given a four-game touchline ban with “immediate effect” by the Football Association on Friday after accepting a misconduct charge following an incident that saw the veteran Arsenal manager sent off in Sunday’s dramatic win over Burnley.
Wenger was sent to the stands by referee Jon Moss after allegedly using abusive or insulting language towards fourth official Anthony Taylor after Burnley were given a stoppage-time penalty at the Emirates Stadium.
The French coach, 67, tried to watch the final moments of the match from the entrance to the tunnel and was shown pushing Taylor when the official asked him to leave the area.
Arsenal went on to win the game 2-1 after being awarded a penalty of their own in the final minute, but Wenger’s post-match apology for his behaviour couldn’t stop the FA, English football’s governing body, charging him.
The FA said Friday that it was alleged that Wenger, Arsenal’s manager since 1996, had “in or around the 92nd minute, used abusive and/or insulting words towards the fourth official”.
The FA statement added: “It was further alleged that following his dismissal from the technical area, his behaviour in remaining in the tunnel area and making physical contact with the fourth official amounted to improper conduct.”
Wenger was also fined £25,000 ($31,000, 29,000 euros) after formally admitting the charge at a personal hearing before an independent regulatory commission.
His ban will start with Arsenal’s FA Cup fourth-round tie away to Premier League rivals Southampton on Saturday.

US President Donald Trump speaks during a joint press conference with Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May in the East Room of the White House on January 27, 2017 in Washington, DC.<br />MANDEL NGAN / AFP
US President Donald Trump said Friday that he will defer to his Pentagon chief regarding interrogation techniques widely condemned as torture, although he himself continues to support their use.
Defense Secretary James Mattis “will override because I’m giving him that power,” Trump told a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May. “He is an expert. He is highly respected.”
“And he has stated publicly that he does not necessarily believe in torture or waterboarding or however you want to define it — enhanced interrogation I guess would be words that a lot of people would like to use,” Trump said, adding that he himself does “not necessarily agree.”
Trump’s views on torture have raised concerns that he will try to reverse laws put into place by predecessor Barack Obama outlawing the brutal interrogation techniques like waterboarding used by the CIA on suspects following the September 11, 2001 attacks.
US media earlier this week reported that the Trump administration was drafting a order that would reauthorize the “black site” prisons around the world where US officials subjected suspects allegedly tied to Al-Qaeda to now-illegal “enhanced interrogation techniques.”
White House press secretary Sean Spicer denied that the document had originated in the White House.
But in an interview Wednesday Trump said that torture is effective.
“Do I feel it works? Absolutely, I feel it works,” he told ABC News.
During a hearing earlier this month to confirm his position as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, former Congressman Mike Pompeo said he would not back torture and “can’t imagine” that he would be asked to do so by Trump.
But he suggested that he could support changing the law, if useful.
“If experts believed current law was an impediment to gathering vital intelligence to protect the country, I would want to understand such impediments and whether any recommendations were appropriate for changing current law,” he said.

The Vatican will stop minting euro coins bearing Pope Francis’ image beginning in March, religious news agency I.media reported Friday, saying the coins will now carry the Vatican’s coat of arms and European Union stars.
The EU’s official journal on January 24 published pictures of the Vatican’s new coins (eight pieces ranging from one cent to two euros), and they show that Pope Francis’ image has been replaced.
The image on the tails side of the Vatican coin is the same as on all of the other eurozone coins.
Pope Francis, who is known as “the pope of the poor,” has railed against the negative power of money.
Yet, because of their rarity, the coins that have born his image since 2014 have become collector’s items.
They are legal tender everywhere in the eurozone but people who find them through sales generally resell them on the collectors’ market.
The existing agreement between the EU’s monetary union and Italy, which the Vatican relies on to mint its coins, includes a quota especially for the Vatican.
The first annual series of papal coins entered circulation on March 1, 2002 bearing the image of then Pope John Paul II.

Crude Oil Processing
The Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC) stated on Tuesday that leaving the crude oil benchmark at 42 dollars per barrel as contained in the 2017 appropriation bill would have made room for savings in the Excess Crude Account (ECA).
The Acting Chairman, Mr Victor Muruako, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that “ordinarily, we at the FRC would have been of the view that even if it was left at 42 dollars, it would have made room for savings into the ECA”.
“It is one of the benefits of the Fiscal Responsibility Act which provides for savings above the benchmark price.’’
President Muhammadu Buhari presented the 2017 Appropriation Bill to the National Assembly on Dec. 14, 2016 with projected oil revenue at N1.99 trillion, on price benchmark of 42.5 dollars per barrel.
He had also presented the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) for 2017-2019 with the same price.
Muruako said that the legislative arm of government changed the benchmark to 44.5 dollars per barrel based on the reality on ground.
He noted that OPEC and non-OPEC members had, some weeks ago, reached some agreements to cut back on oil production which played up the dynamics of improvement in the price of crude oil.
“It is not like the legislature changed it but they looked at the reality; the dynamics are already getting clearer.
“It is possible that when the MTEF was submitted to the National Assembly, what was most obvious and realistic then could have been the 42 dollars per barrel as submitted by the executive.
“So, when the two arms of government looked at it they agreed that 44 dollars would be more realistic.’’
“Though, the argument by the National Assembly is also understandable that you cannot be talking about savings when you have not provided sufficiently for appropriation.’’
The chairman commended the quick passage of the MTEF by the two legislative arms, adding that the harmonious passage showed the improved relationship between the legislative and the executive.
He noted that democracy was not about quarrels, fights and disagreements but about discussions and understanding each other.
“In democracy, every arm of the government is very important; the executive must as a necessity, work harmoniously with the legislature and also the judiciary.
“Taking any of these arms for granted always leads to rancorous relationship and sometimes you find things which ordinarily should be smooth running into turbulent waters but we thank God that is not the case of the MTEF this time around.’’
NAN reports that the FRA 2007 was enacted to promote prudent management of the nation’s resources, ensure long term macro-economic stability and transparency in fiscal operations of the national economy.
