Sustaining Customs anti-smuggling agenda
Not much had been heard lately on the activities at the Tincan Island Port of the Nigeria Customs Service since Comptroller Tunji Aremu took over as the area controller of the busy port after serving as controller of Ports and Terminal Multi Services Limited, Apapa. 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.
