When asked if the owners of the trucks have come to claim them, the acting Customs Area Controller of Federal Operations Unit, Zone A, Hussein Ejibunu explained that most of the trucks are under different franchise agreement and have been carefully stacked in the warehouse inorder to create more space for other seizures.
