The Area Controller of Kirikiri Lighter Terminal Command in Lagos, Mr Hammi Swomen, on Thursday, said it had seized some items including bottled waters.
Swomen disclosed this to journalists at the Kirikiri Command, saying relevant stakeholders had been invited to take a sample of the suspicious imported bottled water for a test.
Other items displayed were vegetable oil, used car tyres and vehicles.
The controller wondered why anyone would import bottled water with a Duty Paid Value of N28,656,879 into Nigeria.
He said five containers were seized, adding that three contained vegetable oil with a total number of 2,772 pieces of five-litre kegs.
