Customs Service Nets Seven Billion Naira from Seized Goods

By Abisola Oluremi

The Oyo/Osun Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has achieved a remarkable feat, generating over seven billion naira for the Federal Government in the first month of the year 

 This success is attributed to the command’s efforts in countering smuggling, which poses a significant threat to national security and hinders the growth of local industries.

According to Dr Ben Oramalugo, during a press briefing held at the command headquarters, Ibadan, said the seized items include foreign parboiled rice, used tyres, clothes, shoes and premium motor spirit.

Dr. Oramalugo emphasized that the command’s success is due to the collaboration of local communities, other security agencies, and the dedication of the command’s officers. 

He also reiterated the command’s commitment to reducing smuggling to zero.

In a piece of related news, Dr. Ben Oramalugo has been transferred to the Seme border as part of a routine reassignment.
