The Nigeria Police Force is to collaborate with the Nigeria Customs Service to check the importation of illegal arms.
New Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Yakubu Alkali spoke on Monday in Lagos during a courtesy visit to customs Acting Comptroller, Federal Operations Unit, Zone A, Victor Dikka.
Alkali solicited custom Service support in effectively securing Lagos from criminals, particularly with regards to the smuggling of arms into Nigeria.
Responding, the customs’ boss said there was need for synergy among the security agencies for them to succeed in their duties.
Dikka said as part of efforts to check the smuggling of illegal arms into the country, more men and new patrol vehicles had been deployed to cover areas that hitherto were not reached.
He said the Unit had also increased the level of intelligence network around the borders, stressing that surveillance of the waterways had been boosted to check infiltration through that route.
Dikka also said the Custom was committed to generating more revenue this year.
