Hameed Ibrahim Ali, commended officers of the service for their efforts in breaking the chain of illegal wildlife trade and unlawful deforestation and tree felling activities.<\/p>\n<p>He assured the public that the service would leave no stone unturned in its efforts to support the rest of the world in protecting endangered species and prevent deforestation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigeria Customs Service would never allow perpetrators of these crimes to profit from it or escape the wrath of the law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be recalled that in 2021, the Comptroller General of Customs at a media briefing in Lagos, showcased a seizure of pangolin scales and elephant tusks worth N22.6 billion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis achievement was widely acknowledged as a major boost to the fight against the extinction of endangered wildlife species in Nigeria,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ali assured that Nigeria Customs would continue to enforce schedule six of the Common External Tariff which identified endangered species as absolute prohibition for export.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, as a signatory to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora (CITES), the Service will not relent in its enforcement responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that it would suppress the unsustainable and unethical exploitation of the nation\u2019s fragile ecosystem and its biodiversity to the barest minimum.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigeria Customs Service, in collaboration with Wildlife Justice Commission (WJC), has intercepted 397.5 Kilogramme of pangolin scales and arrested 8 suspects in connection with the seizure.
