Nigeria Customs officials at Seme say they never gave out bad rice that killed people. Their spokesman, Isah Sulaiman, called these stories false. He denied claims about rice cursed by its original owner after seizure. Rumors spread fear across the Seme border areas that tainted rice caused deaths. The stories even said a soldier died after eating this rice.
Customs staff follow strict rules when handling items taken from smugglers. No deaths occurred among workers or local people from eating rice. The agency blamed some fake reporters for making up these scary stories instead of telling the truth. They asked everyone to ignore these tales that make security teams look bad. The Seme command leader, Dr Ben Oramalugo, wants to keep doing his job properly, following government rules.
