Customs tells Ogun monarchs to tame killings, attacks on officers

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Ogun Area 1 Command on Tuesday called on the traditional rulers in Ogun State to always educate their subjects on the dangers of attacking Service operatives in the state. 

The command’s Area Controller, Comptroller Dera Nnadi made the appeal on Tuesday in Abeokuta, while addressing traditional leaders as part of the efforts of his command at forging symbiotic relationships with key stakeholders and host communities in the command. 

He particularly made reference to the death of two Customs’ personnel killed by suspected smugglers last October 2021.

Nnadi, therefore, appealed to traditional rulers in Yewaland whose territories serve as a base for the Customs operations to rise to the challenge. 

The Customs Boss alongside his officials toured the palaces of the Olu of Ilaro and Paramount ruler of Yewaland, Oba Kehinde Olugbenle; the Alake of Abeokuta and Paramount ruler of Egbaland, Oba (Dr.) Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo and the Agura of Gbagura, Oba Sabur Babajide Bakre. 

Nnadi, who spoke at the palace of the Agura of Gbagura, Abeokuta, Oba Sabur Babajide Bakre, who himself, is a retired Customs senior officer, disclosed that NCS under his would appreciate mutual cooperation of the palace and towns towards overcoming the challenges which smuggling activities posed to the Nigerian economy.
