'There are 12 official borders in Katsina but as it is now, we have more than 100 entry and exit routes that these people follow to smuggle contraband'

in Katsina State, Wada Chedi, has explained why his agency has failed to check smuggling in the state.

He spoke during a stakeholders’ meeting on public and customs relations in Katsina, Thursday afternoon.“Our officers can’t be everywhere because even if you bring all the Customs officers in Nigeria to Katsina, we can’t adequately man the borders, which is why we need the public to help us with credible information on smugglers. There are people where these smugglers come into this state, we want them to help us with information on the smuggler’s movement.

He said smugglers have many strategies for evading officers at the borders because “they are cunning in nature.”“Some desperate smugglers in the state go to the extent of collaborating with bandits, whereby we used to have a lot of attacks and record casualties,” he said.
