Abubakar Chafe, spokesperson, NCS, Sokoto
Command, told journalists on Saturday, February 17, 2024, that the
vehicles were stopped along Gwadabawa-Illela road.
Mr. Chafe said the interceptions were made
due to the quantity of the farm produce the trucks were carrying.
He said the trucks were presently in
custody of the command and that investigation had commenced to ascertain the
owners and destinations of the food items.
He explained that the operation was carried
out by a combined team of the NCS Sokoto command, officers of the federal
operation unit and the intelligence unit of the service.
Mr Chafe added that the operation became necessary with the
prevailing inflation of food items in the country.
