Insecurity: Customs, Police, Immigration Launch Joint Operations in Border Routes
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) have launched a joint operation exercise to address issues of insecurity in the nation’s border stations.
Code-named Ex-Swift Response , the joint operation will tackle all security issues in border areas.
Public Relations officer of the Customs Service, Mr Joseph Attah in a statement said the security measure is being coordinated by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).
Attah explained that the security measure will take place in the South-South, South-West, North-Central and North-West.
According to Attah, “It is expected that the exercise will promote inter-agency cooperation and increase preparedness to address trans-border security challenges such as terrorism, armed banditry, smuggling, proliferation of small arms and light weapons, amongst others”.
He added that the exercise will involve the movement of personnel, vehicles and equipment within the affected parts of the country.
He called on members of the public not to panic on noticing such movement.
