The
Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Oyo/Osun Command, has repositioned its
security network within the border lines of the Command to prevent
smuggling of prohibited goods into the country through the region.
This
is sequel to recent uncovering of a new trend of smuggling contra-band
items concealed with veterinary chemical products into the Command.
The
Customs Area Controller (CAC), of the Command, Mr. Oteri Richard, said
this in a chat with Sunday Vanguard, warning smugglers to desist from
illegal border trades to enhance sanity in the economic environment.
The
CAC explained that Customs officers from his Command while on patrol
intercepted two trucks loaded with rice and concealed with veterinary
chemical products by smugglers, but their effort was thwarted by
officers who carried out a thorough search and eventually discovered
that they were conveying prohibited goods.
He said, “The
Comptroller General of Customs, Alhaji Abudullahi Inde Dikko, has
equipped us with necessary logistics to enhance efficiency in our
statutory duty and we in Oyo/Osun Area Command reiterate our commitment
to curb smuggling in the region”.
