Office/Company: NIGERIAN CUSTOMS SERVICE
Transaction: Customs Duties, Levies & Imposts
Bribe Type: Nil
Detail: I traveled to Ghana, on my way back I had bought some Kente materials of which i had with me. On getting to Nigeria, at the airport arriving with my wife, the Customs official asked what I had in my bags, I told them I had my personal effects. They directed me to a table where the officer was asking me to pay duties for what I had brought in, I refused because I have a right to buy anything from a West African country, after giving me so much trouble she called a superior officer, on seeing that I was not yielding to the intimidation, I told them that I had everything that had been said on record, of which I really did. The officer began to apologize and waved everything off. So what if I didn't know my right?
