The joint border patrol team of the Nigeria Customs Service in the Northwest zone has successfully intercepted drugs valued at over N24 million at the borders in Kangiwa and Bachaka areas of Kebbi State. Comptroller Aminu Abubakar Danmusa, the coordinator of the team, reported that the traffickers were apprehended while attempting to transport the drugs into the country through the Bachaka and Kangiwa borders, located in Argungu and Arewa local government areas of Kebbi State.
During the handover of the confiscated drugs to the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency in Birnin Kebbi, Danmusa pointed out the challenges faced by the NCS at the Kebbi borders, which are particularly susceptible to drug trafficking due to their proximity to Niger and Benin Republics. “Kebbi borders are particularly vulnerable because it borders Niger and Benin Republics. And as we know, the Benin Republic is notorious for drug activities,” he noted.
