He implored the perpetrators to desist from acts capable of bringing the nation to disrepute, particularly in this era of information technology where interception of this nature would be internet-based.
The controller said that the service would resist any attempt by any individual or organisation to use Nigeria as a conduit pipe for illicit transactions.
Yusuf said that INTERPOL Nigeria would subject the vehicles to due diligence investigation and would eventually use internal mechanism to repatriate the vehicles to the U.S. (NAN)
