EFCC to partner Customs against tobacco smuggling
CHAIRMAN of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Lamorde, on Tuesday, promised to exploit the commission’s relationship with the Nigeria Customs Service, to forge a common front in intercepting and curbing illegal importation of tobacco into the country.
Lamorde, who made the promise when the Managing Director, British America Tobacco Company, Mr Chris McAllister, led members of his management team on a courtesy visit to the commission, assured the Tobacco Company of EFCC’s readiness to fight illegal importation of tobacco into the country. “If we have an idea of how some of these cigarettes are being smuggled into the country, we can work with you and even bring in Customs, because they are the ones at the entry points and border posts,” Lamorde said.
