The Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges on Tuesday decried the invasion of the popular Oja Oba and Bodija markets in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital by officers of the Nigeria Customs Services.
Men of the revenue-generating agencies had last week invaded the Oja Oba market and carted away eight truckloads of rice and money found in the shops of the affected traders.
Nigerian Tribune checks revealed that the operation of the NCS was carried out after a month when they raided Bodija International Market, where they carted away numerous bags of rice.
The Senate Committee in its resolutions urged the Comptroller General of Customs, Hameed Ali, represented by his Assitant Comptroller General, Garba Mohammed, to ensure that the seized goods were returned to the affected traders within two weeks, their shops unlocked while money taken from the shops be equally returned.
