The Nigeria Customs Service auctions 22,175 litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) seized along the Lagos–Ogun border corridor. The public auction takes place on Monday at the Customs Training College in Ikeja, Lagos.
Officials say the seized fuel is part of petroleum products intercepted during operations aimed at curbing cross-border smuggling of petroleum products. Vanguard and Daily Post both link the seizure to Customs enforcement activities around the Lagos–Ogun route and describe the auction as part of the Service’s broader efforts to dispose of forfeited items through due process.
While both outlets broadly agree on the quantities and the auction venue and date, they differ in the details included. Vanguard’s report also mentions additional items auctioned and provides a specific valuation for vehicles accompanying the fuel, whereas Daily Post focuses primarily on the PMS figure and the interception by Customs operational units. Both accounts describe the auction as a public exercise following seizures by Customs officers.
