He urged officers to maintain the command’s positive revenue and enforcement records, ensuring that seizures are accompanied by arrests for prosecution to combat smuggling effectively.
Comptroller Olomu also announced that the command would host an end-of-year gathering and award night to recognize officers and stakeholders who contributed to its success in 2024.
“We aim to reward our compliant partners, which will serve as a morale booster for others,” the CAC said.
