The Nigerian Customs Service , Seme Command has impounded a brand new Toyota Prado SUV.

The 2016 model SUV was seized on Gwaji bridge, along Seme road, Badagry-West LCDA, Lagos State.

According to an eyewitness, the  Customs personnel acting on intelligence report, flagged the driver down but instead, he climbed the tyre ripper in a desperate bid to escape.

Customs gave the occupants of the vehicle a hot chase and caught up with them on Gwaji bridge.

Abbas, a bricklayer and a passenger in the SUV who hails from Benue State, said he came to see his native doctor in Cotonou and was on his way back to attend a church service in Lagos when he was given a lift.

He denied having anything to do with the said vehicle.

The driver who identified himself as Mamoud said he hails from Ashipa in Badagry after they were arrested at 9 am on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson of the Command, Taupyen while addressing the media said the Command generated the sum of N594,195,311.23 in the month of January, 2017.

It also made 43 seizures with paid value (DPV) of N92,385,870.

The revenue was largely generated through imported goods and baggage assessment.

The Area Comptroller,Victor Dimka, said the amount realized is highly commendable despite the ban on imported vehicles through the land borders.

Dimka also said that his Command has blocked all leakages through which government has lost revenue in the past.
