What happened
Ogun State shares a strategic border with the Republic of Benin, which serves as a major corridor for both legitimate trade and anti-smuggling operations. The Ogun I Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service is leading an intensified campaign against economic sabotage along this border. This operation seeks to balance the facilitation of legitimate exports against illicit trade that drains jobs and undermines local production.
