The items were impounded by customs officials in Adamawa region under the special customs unit set to fight illicit in the three Northern regions, dubbed HALCOMI. The operation was instituted by the Director General of Customs, Edwin Fongod, following the alarming rate of illicit trade in the three regions.
    According to Jude Mofor, Commander of the operation whose aim is to put a halt to illicit trade in the Northern regions, the phones were discovered by his elements during routine checks undertaken in the town of Ngaoundere.
    “Every day our elements are being deployed in the field to search. We control everything that is entering the country and everything that is going out. It I a routine control that enable us see the telephones entering the country illegally,” Mofor said. He revealed that they have drafted two strategies to handle the confiscated devices. 
    “If it is something that is accepted to enter the country, we are going to calculate the taxes and fix penalties. For instance, if there were supposed to pay FCFA 100 000, they will pay 200 000 and if they were supposed to pay FCFA 1 million they will pay two, Mofor said.
    He added that if the devices will be destroyed it is discovered that they are not authorised to enter the country. He used the opportunity to call on all business operators to ensure to follow the legal procedures before importing their goods into the country.

  1. I wanted to take a moment to share my personal journey because I know how isolating and overwhelming it can feel to live with a chronic diagnosis like HSV-2. For years, I struggled with the physical and emotional toll this virus took on my life, and honestly, I had almost given up hope after being told by multiple doctors that there was no real cure. It was a dark time, and it deeply affected my confidence and my personal relationships. Everything changed when I stumbled upon a forum where someone shared their own experience with Dr. Kham herbal remedies. I’ll be honest—I was incredibly skeptical at first, having already tried so many things that didn't work. However, the sincerity in their story pushed me to reach out. From the moment I contacted him, he was professional and truly attentive to everything I had been going through. He guided me through the process of using his herbal regimen, and after following his instructions carefully, I was absolutely stunned to see such a positive turn in my health. Getting back to a place where I feel like myself again has been nothing short of a miracle. I am sharing this simply because I know there are others out there searching for answers and feeling like they have nowhere left to turn. If you have been struggling with health issues like HSV-2, HPV, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, Lupus or other chronic conditions, I genuinely recommend reaching out to him.
