Customs Officer Steals Containers

IT seems a Customs Officer was approached by an importer for help in clearing two containers declared to contain tables. The Customs officer took a decent bribe, faked a transfer of the containers to another port and stole the two containers. It seems officers routinely steal imported luxury cars from ports. Well, this happened in Ghana.
