The Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), has narrated how it foiled attempt by suspected ritualist to send corpse of a one-year-old baby through courier.

Ibrahim Bako, the Coordinator, NURTW, Area 1, Garki in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) gave the account in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.

He said the suspect attempted to send a parcel concealing the baby’s corpse to Gwagwalada, a satellite town in the territory.

He was speaking on the experiences of some of the union members registered to operate courier and logistics services.

‘’From our previous experiences, we have seized cocaine and other hard drugs

“We have also discovered a corpse of a year-old baby being sent to Gwagwalada in the FCT as well as two riffles, among others.

“The contrabands and the persons who came to send them were handed over to the police.

“Some of the suspected criminals are still in the prison,” he said.

NAN reports that transporters who are registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and obtained a license from the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST)’s Courier Regulatory Department are allowed to operate courier and logistics services.

Bako stressed the importance of following the right channels in courier and logistics services delivery.  (NAN)
