Why not tell the who the importer is? And don't say that this is a work of Makandure Madush.

The importation by illegal means will go on, and the authorities should not drop their vigilance even from other issues, although the Covid virus has taken most of their attention away from the rest. Will this consignment also be spirited away or ordered to be released by higher ups or interfering political intervention.
