He attributed the seizure to the strengthened partnership between the agencies, highlighting the upcoming deployment of a high-capacity 200-container-per-hour drive-through scanner to enhance anti-smuggling operations. The seized drugs have been formally handed over to the NDLEA for further investigation and prosecution of associated suspects.

This success follows the recognition of Comptroller Oshoba and NDLEA Apapa Special Area Commander Mohammed Tukur with the WCO Certificate of Merit, aligning with the 2026 International Customs Day theme: “Customs Protecting”.
