The Nigerian Customs says its operatives have intercepted another container laden with arms at the Tin Can Island Port in Lagos.
It was gathered that 440 assorted firearms were found in the container which was imported from Turkey and the terminal where the container was found has been shut down.
While an investigation is still ongoing, one suspect has been arrested.
Nigeria Customs Service in January 2017 seized 661 pump action rifles imported into the country illegally from China.
The rifles were concealed with steel doors and other merchandize goods in a 40 feet container, and were later handed over to the Nigerian military.
