Customs Service and EFCC Enhance Collaboration Against Crime

The Nigeria Customs Service, Sokoto/Zamfara Area Command, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have pledged to strengthen their collaboration to combat smuggling, money laundering, and other economic crimes. This commitment was made during a courtesy visit by Customs Area Controller DC Haliru Abdullahi to the EFCC Sokoto Zonal Directorate.

Abdullahi emphasized the need for effective collaboration to address economic sabotage and protect government revenue. He stated that the Customs Service is ready to support the EFCC through intelligence sharing and coordinated enforcement operations.

Acting Zonal Director of the EFCC in Sokoto, Nwanneka Nwonkike, acknowledged the importance of sustained partnership in intelligence gathering and prosecution of economic crimes. Both agencies recognized that economic saboteurs exploit operational gaps and called for stronger communication and joint strategies to dismantle criminal networks.

They reaffirmed their commitment to professionalism, transparency, and accountability in their efforts.
