The attention of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has been brought to escalating activities of fraudulent entities preying on unsuspecting individuals through social media platforms, falsely claiming association with the service for purposes of auctions or recruitment. These individuals exploit the public’s trust and ignorance, promoting fictitious auctions and sham recruitment drives supposedly endorsed by our service.
The service wishes to clarify that auctions of seized/overtime goods are never conducted via any social media platform. Any such claims on social media should be treated as fraudulent and promptly reported. All seized/overtime goods have a laid-down Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for disposal in line with the Nigeria Customs Service Act, 2023. It is pertinent to state that the only portal for e-auction in NCS is https://auction.nigeriatradehub.gov.ng.
For authentic updates about the operations of NCS, we strongly encourage the public to verify information exclusively through the official NCS website, www.customs.gov.ng. Additionally, you can contact our help desk lines through – 07037891156, 0201889889, and 02018898888. You can also reach out to NCS formations nationwide.
