The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), has buried second-hand bales of clothes that were seized for more than four years in Katsina state.
The exercise took place in Katsina on Wednesday, at the special refuse dump provided by the state’s emergency management agency at Barawa, in Batagarawa local government area.
The event was in collaboration with the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), and the state emergency management agency.
The NCS Controller in the state, Mr Abba Aji said the disposal of the seized second-hand clothes worth millions of naira was necessary because they had begun to decay.
“Before taking the decision to bury these seized bales of clothes, we consulted with various stakeholders, especially the officials of NESREA and that of the state emergency management agency.
“When I assumed duty as the Controller not long ago, I realised that the seized items had decayed, becoming a hazard to public health and also the environment.
“In order to be free from such a situation, we have to consult NESREA and other stakeholders for support to evacuate and dispose of the pre-owned clothes,” he explained.
