The seizures include textiles, vehicles, poultry, rice, vegetable oil, wine, fruit juice and soaps, he said.
The command's revenue for August was below that of July which was N487.1 and 49 seizures with a DPV of N48.4 million.
The command spokesman, Ernest Olotah, also said the reduction in revenue for August was due to a drop in the importation of goods.

The command had between January and August generated N4 billion.
