The Nigerian Customs Service has seized 102 bags of plastic rice in Lagos.
The Customs Area Controller of F.O.U. Comptroller Mohammed Haruna, made the report in an interview with journalists recently.
The Controller said “Before now, I thought it was a rumour
that the plastic rice is all over the country but with this seizure, I
have been totally convinced that such rice exists.
“We have done the preliminary analysis
on the plastic rice. After boiling, it was sticky and only God knows
what would have happened if people consumed it.
“I advise those economic saboteurs who
see Yuletide season as a peak period for nefarious acts to desist from
such illegal business.
“The unit has decided other operational
modalities that will give them a run for their monies and count their
losses,”
