The Nigeria Customs Service has said that smugglers now establish small, distributed storage facilities within border communities, serving as transit points for onward movement across the border.

The Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, disclosed this on Monday while addressing journalists at the Customs Training College in Ikeja.

He explained that operational data reveals several emergent trends in smuggling tactics that warrant particular attention.

Adeniyi added that, unlike previous periods where nighttime smuggling dominated, “we now observe increased attempts during daylight hours, particularly between 0900 hrs and 1400 hrs, suggesting a tactical adaptation to our nighttime enforcement operations.”
