The command with all its challenges however appeared to have performed creditably last year going by the testimonies of Aremu at a recent encounter with journalists. Aremu for instance, revealed that during the period under review, the command in its efforts to combat smuggling, impounded not fewer than 18 goods as a result of false declaration, under declaration. Some, he disclosed were prohibited items.
