The Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the remand of Ejiogu Godson and Robert Eze for 15 days over allegations of smuggling high-calibre firearms and ammunition into Nigeria. The order came after the Nigeria Customs Service filed an ex parte application before Justice Friday Ogazi. The Customs Service claimed that they had probable cause to keep the suspects in custody while the investigation continued.
The application was supported by an affidavit from an NCS operative detailing the discovery of firearms and ammunition during a container examination. The suspects reportedly provided information about other individuals involved in the alleged fraud and manipulation of Customs records. The court granted the remand order, considering the need for a thorough and speedy investigation.
