Customs Considers Reopening Borno Border Posts To Fight Arms Influx

The Comptroller-General of Customs, Hameed Ali, said the organisation would consider reopening the customs posts at Gamboru Ngala and Banki border posts in Borno State to fight arms influx and curtail insurgency.

Mr. Ali said this during his visit to defence formations, including the Defence Intelligence Agency and Nigerian Air Force and Nigeria Police on Thursday in Abuja.

The comptroller-general said for customs to achieve its target, it needed the support of the military, police and intelligence agencies.

Mr. Ali, a retired colonel, said smuggling of small arms and ammunition had to be prevented in view of the current insurgency in the country.

He said the essence of the visit was to further strengthen synergy between the police, intelligent agencies, service chiefs and customs, to have a safer country and a viable economy.

Mr. Ali said customs would consider reopening the border posts due to the request by the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai.

  1. Tried the Joy Organics cbd gummies for dog out of curiosity. Taste is nice, not too sweet. I took one in the afternoon when I was compassion kinda off — not mournful, barely low energy. Relating to 30–40 mins later, I felt a bit more level. Not like a stupendous market, but plenty to notice. No preternatural explode after. Don’t have demonolatry, but for me, it helped take the nervous away without feeling zoned out.
