Veteran Nollywood actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo, has advised Nigerian Customs Service to give out all seized goods to Nigerians as the country observes lockdown due to COVID-19.

As of April 1, the Nigeria Center for Disease Control - NCDC has recorded about 151 cases of coronavirus and two deaths.

While some celebrities are doing cash giveaways online, the popular actor believes that the Federal Government could make life easier for many by giving out the food in their custody.

The Customs Service has over time seized numerous bags of rice, tomato, vegetable oil, milk, and other food items from notorious smugglers at the country's border.

RMD said:

"Sitting here wondering if this won't be a good time for the government to ask Customs about all the plenty seized rice, tomato, vegetable oil and all the other food items they have in their possession and give out to our people in need.

"Whilst thanking them for reduced fuel prices at this time (inject smiley face)and all the other efforts so far, food is a major part of this lockdown.

"I know sometimes the agencies of govt don't work as a team but please this is the time for customs to step and tell us how much relief they can bring to Nigerians."
