The Comptroller, Abdullahi Ka’ila, disclosed this during a press briefing on Friday, saying the seizures resulted from intelligence-driven operations across the zone.
Items seized include three luxury vehicles, a Citroën Jumper bus, a Peugeot Boxer, 14,750 litres of petrol, 283 fresh donkey skins, 102 sacks of fried donkey meat, and used clothing.
