Lamenting the upsurge witnessed in smuggling activities in Ogun for the month of May/June when compared to that of the previous month of April/May, 2022 when the border was newly reopened, Makinde attributed the trend to the intensity of trading ahead of the forthcoming year 2022 Sallah festival.

 

Makinde explained that the command generated a total revenue of over N12. 8 Million from auctions of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) intercepted at different exit points to the Republic of Benin during the anti – smuggling operations, adding that about 10,973 litres of the seized petroleum products were disposed off “in line with the extant laws”.
