Customs dismisses plea against anti-smuggling activities.

The Seme Border Command of Nigeria Customs Service has advised persons pleading for the relaxation of anti-smuggling activities to look for more dignifying jobs.
Area Comptroller of Seme Border Command,Sadiq Sahabi said on Tuesday in Badagry that the command would not tolerate any form of smuggling.
Sahabi was reacting to plea by the Association for Better Seme Border that anti-smuggling tactics should be reduced in view of the hardship caused by the recent global economic meltdown.
He said the plea was against the interest of the nation’s economy.
According to the Area Comptroller, the Seme Area Command is not going to abandon the current anti-smuggling campaign.
“The anti-smuggling campaign embarked upon by the Nigeria Customs Service is at the instance of Dikko Abdullahi, Comptroller General of Customs.
The masses should learn how to adjust to the meltdown rather than calling for an end to anti-smuggling campaign because the economic meltdown is a global phenomenon,” Sahabi said.
President of Association for Better Seme Border, Mike Nwizu,has called for relaxation of anti-smuggling activities in view of the economic hardship occasioned by global meltdown.
