He further assured that as the gatekeeper of the nation’s border, the NCS would continue to ensure that goods unhealthy for human consumption and injurious to the economy did not cross the border.

Omale solicited increased synergy among collaborating security operatives and Nigerians to rid the country of smugglers.

The Area Controller stressed that the command was battle ready to curtail the nefarious activities.
