The Customs Area Controller (CAC) expressed gratitude to every officer and man of the Command for their tireless efforts in making Nigeria a safer place. This acknowledgment comes on the heels of the Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC), Bashir Adewale Adeniyi’s, recent visits to Onne Area II Customs Command in Rivers State.
During these visits, the CGC recognized the Command’s seizures of multiple cargoes containing illicit drugs, arms, and ammunition.
