The defendants were arraigned on Tuesday for alleged forgery of customs papers for illegal importation of goods.<\/p>\n
The defendants, Ismail Shaibu Kolo, Jimoh Yakubu and Abdullahi Muazu, were arraigned by the NCS Federal Operations Unit (FOU), Zone A, Ikeja, Lagos, on two separate count charges of forgery and conspiracy to commit by forging NCS\u2019 documents, particularly the \u201cExit Note\u201d, for the purpose of evading duties payable to the government.<\/p>\n
The prosecuting counsel and Assistant Legal Adviser of NCS, Vivian Aigbadon, told the court that the accused persons committed the offenses between January and February, 2023, around Owode Idi iroko Road in Yewa South LGA of Ogun State.<\/p>\n
