Peters listed the confiscated items made in 35 seizures to include 637 bags of 50kg of foreign parboiled rice, 795 kegs of 25 litres of Premium Motor Spirit, 15 units of Nigerian used vehicles (means of conveyance), 14 cartons of condensed milk, four cartons of batteries, 14 tin tomato paste and three bags of sugar.

He reiterated that despite the series of attacks by dare devil smugglers and hoodlums on officers on duty, the Sector will not be distracted from executing its mandate.

"Anyone caught disrupting our officers in the line of duty or perpetuating nefarious activities of smuggling shall be made to face the wrath of the law," he said.

He thanked other security agencies, community and youth leaders who are collaborating with the team in the fight against smuggling and human trafficking.

The sector, he noted, would continue to dialogue, engage, sensitize and educate the public, especially the people along the border axis on the socio-economic implication of smuggling as well as performance of its statutory function of enforcing partial border closure in line with Federal Government fiscal policies.
