The Acting Comptroller in charge of FOU Zone ‘A’, DC Hussein Ejibunu in a Press Briefing at the Headquarters of the Unit, recounts the number of attacks on his officers.


He called on appropriate authority to note the series of attacks on the operatives going about their lawful duties.


He said Nigeria Customs Service has the right to protect the nation against economic saboteurs and won’t rest until it achieves that.


He prayed for the heroes who lost their lives and extended his condolences to their families, colleagues and friends.
