The Nigerian Navy has intercepted 130 bags of foreign parboiled rice during an anti-smuggling operation along the waterways of Badagry.
According to the Director of Naval Information, Commodore Abiodun Folorunsho, the operation was carried out by personnel of the Forward Operating Base Badagry following credible intelligence on smuggling activities in the area.
Naval operatives reportedly raided the Panshi–Ijofin creeks leading to the Badagry–Porto Novo waterways at about 4:30 a.m. on May 6, 2026.
Folorunsho disclosed that the suspected smugglers fled immediately after sighting naval personnel, abandoning the contraband during the operation.
A total of 130 bags of 50kg foreign parboiled rice suspected to have been smuggled into Nigeria through illegal routes were recovered.
