The Acting Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Bashir Adeniyi, has warned against any compromise in Benin Republic, Cameroon and other borders following the closure of entries into Niger Republic.
As a result of the military coup in Niger, Adeniyi also directed that any transit goods through the Customs territory should be stopped if they are headed to the Niger Republic.
Nigeria had shut its land borders with Niger Republic as part of measures against the military junta in the West African country.
Adeniyi noted that criminals, in an attempt to break or smuggle arms into Niger Republic, may explore other land borders like that of Benin Republic and Cameroon.
He said this on Sunday while addressing officers and men of the NCS during his working visit to the headquarters of the Ogun 1 Area Command of the NCS at Idiroko, Ogun State.
He said implementation of the Nigeria-Niger border closure “is 100 percent” in the northern frontiers.
He called on customs and other security operatives manning the borders to be alert and vigilant to wage war against any attempt to jeopardise national security.

The Nigeria Police Force on Sunday issued a vital advisory to safeguard the public against the recent surge in deceptive vehicle auction scams and impersonating senior officers to dupe unsuspecting Nigerians.
It alerts that, “Citizens have reported incidents where individuals, falsely posing as representatives of the police authority, have sought financial contributions under the guise of imminent vehicle auctions and favours, including contracts from the NPF”.
Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi said, “We wish to emphasize that the NPF adheres strictly to a standardized protocol for conducting legitimate vehicle auctions, contracts, and legitimate deals, in line with the provisions of extant laws.

“Every auction must follow due process as enshrined in the Nigeria Police Act, 2020.
“It, therefore, is imperative for all residents to exercise caution and refrain from parting with their funds in response to such unauthorized solicitations.
“We urge everyone to independently verify any information related to police activities, particularly vehicle auctions, through official communication channels.
