Seme customs orders movement of cargo, persons to approved post

The authority in charge of Seme Command of the Nigeria Customs Service at the weekend ordered that all movement of persons and cargo be done through the recently commissioned Seme-Krake border post.

This is to forestall human trafficking and smuggling through unapproved routes in the area.

It also said it has concluded plans to seal all areas considered as illegal routes within the border between Nigeria and Republic of Benin.

The Customs Area Controller (CAC) of Seme Command, Comptroller Mohammed Uba Garba, made this disclosure saying that he has directed that all movements within the border region be channeled to the joint border post.
