Ogun state: Abiodun advises customs over invasion

Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has advised the operatives of the Nigeria

Customs Service to be civil with market women and men regarding complaints of

invasion of shops and warehouses in markets across the state.

This is coming after traders in the state had accused Customs officers of breaking into

their shops and warehouses in a bid to search for smuggled goods.

The Governor who disclosed this while receiving the Comptroller General of Customs,

Adewale Adeniyi, in his office said, although there are bound to be some unscrupulous

individuals who could be found wanting over the issue of smuggling, he insisted that

the majority of the people in the state are law-abiding, adding that for the purpose of

peaceful engagement and economic development in the state, there is a need for

peaceful interaction between the security agency and the traders.

In his response, the Customs boss frowned at the invasion of markets, and expressed

his disappointment over the issue and promised to look into the matter for redress.
