” We solicited the intervention of the Nigeria Customs Services to checkmate the illegal importation of foreign rice through Wuro Bokki,Ribadu and Njoboli local river ports all in Adamawa by large boats from Cameroon Republic .

” Most of the activities were been carried in the night by unknown individuals.” Yusuf said.
