EXPOSED: 500 Illegal Under Ground Petrol Tunnels in Bama — Gyang

Former Comptroller-General of Customs and Gbong Gwom Jos, HRH Buba Jacob Gyang, yesterday, disclosed that there are over 500 petroleum tankers loading daily to Cameroon, just as he said the people bury them under the tunnels for onward transfer to Cameroon.

The traditional ruler, who is a member of the Committee on Land Tenure and National Boundaries, spoke on the various lapses at the different exit points of the country which range from lack of coordination, poor facilities, rivalry and power play among the various security agencies at the border posts.

He said: “We are not serious in handling these things because somebody’s interest is concerned. There is lot to do about this national security matter.

He said many people in our neighboring countries – Niger, Chad and Cameroon are living on products from Nigeria. For instance, in Bama in Maiduguri, there are over 500 petroleum tankers loading daily to cross over to Cameroon. In fact there is an underground tunnel through which Petroleum products are siphoned to Cameroon.”

He also said that one of the key thriving businesses of Ogun State is smuggling across borders.
