Communities along Nigeria’s border with neighbouring countries have been urged by the Nigeria Customs Service to help in the fight against smuggling and smugglers as this would help to ensure a high level of national security.
Godwin Otunla, Ogun 1 Area Command Comptroller, made this known during the weekend in an interview.
Otunla said that the call had become imperative because the fighting against smuggling remained a collective responsibility.
According to him, the Ogun 1 Area Command will continue to build on collaboration, intelligence sharing and innovation against smugglers.
“However, I want to sound a clear warning to smugglers and their collaborators to refrain from all illegal businesses because the command will not relent in the fight against smuggling.
“We remain vigilant, resolute, and unyielding. No matter the sophistication of your ricks, our personnel will continue to thwart your antics and bring the full weight of the law against you,” Otunla said.
The area comptroller applauded the support and cooperation of sister agencies in the area in the fight against smuggling activities.
