🇳🇬🚔 Canada Applauds Nigeria Customs for 65 Stolen Cars 🚗

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has earned major recognition from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) for helping recover 65 luxury vehicles stolen from Canada and trafficked into Nigeria.

At an official event at the Canadian High Commission in Abuja, Canada’s High Commissioner Pasquale Salvaggio presented an award to the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, praising NCS’s role in disrupting international car theft and drug smuggling networks.

This joint effort also uncovered parcels of synthetic cannabis (“loud”) smuggled from Canada.

🤝 The move strengthens global cooperation, with plans to sign an MoU with Canadian agencies for intelligence sharing and training.

👏 A big win for border security and international law enforcement!

🚨 Avoid Seizure at the Port: Check Vehicle History Before Importing! 🚨

The recent recovery of 65 stolen vehicles by Nigeria Customs — originally stolen from Canada — is a major reminder to all car buyers and importers:

Always verify the history of any car before buying from overseas.
Many vehicles flagged as stolen or involved in criminal activities are unknowingly imported into Nigeria, only to be seized at the port, resulting in loss of money, time, and credibility.

✅ Before importing any vehicle:

• Run a VIN check through trusted platforms like VerifyItHQ.com.

• Ensure the vehicle is not stolen, has a clean title, and is not under police investigation in its country of origin.

• Work only with reputable dealers and shippers who provide transparent documentation.

🔍 VerifyItHQ.com makes it easy to:

• Check for theft records

• Review vehicle history

• Confirm ownership status

• Avoid customs issues

❌ Don't fall for “too-good-to-be-true” deals.
With Customs now working hand-in-hand with global agencies like RCMP and Interpol, scrutiny at Nigerian ports has never been tighter.
