WHY WE ARRESTED 21 TRUCKS LOADED WITH FOOD BY EFCC
It will be recalled that on Tuesday, the EFCC arrested 21 trucks loaded with food and non-food items heading towards Borno neighbouring countries.
Oyewale said: “Anything that has a negative bearing on the economy is an act of economic sabotage or serving as a leakage, distortion or disequilibrium in the economy, the commission has a responsibility to tackle it and that is what the EFCC has done.
“It is not that the commission is throwing its nets towards the borders. An arrest can be made anywhere and the smugglers were arrested at the exit routes leading to Cameroon and Chad as a result of the effectiveness of our surveillance.
“They could have also been arrested anywhere else but the most important thing is that they were arrested for allegedly smuggling food items that could be useful to Nigerians, which they were not allowed to take out of the country
