The Oyo/Osun Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has arrested three suspects in connection with the attempted smuggling of three pump-action rifles, while another suspect was detained over alleged recruitment fraud and public impersonation.
The Acting Controller of the Command, Deputy Comptroller Wale Adewole, disclosed this on Thursday during a press briefing at the Command’s headquarters in Ibadan.
He said the suspects linked to the firearms case are currently under investigation, adding that the Command is working with the Customs Intelligence Unit, Customs Police Unit and Legal Unit to unravel those behind the attempted smuggling.
