Principal Revenue Officer in charge of the Golden Jubilee Car Park, Cyril Ekehe revealed that the firearms, would be seized because, neither were they declared by the importer nor did the importer follow lawful procedure to acquire the weapons.

“By the customs law they are going to be seized outright because in the first place they are restricted items that can all be imported under restricted circumstances and conditions which none of those conditions have been fulfilled.”
