Meanwhile, the NCS, most especially the Adamawa\/Taraba area Command has been diligently reviewing and strengthening its robust measures to combat this illicit trade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to make it clear to the smugglers that we will counter every move they make and we will not relent in this anti-smuggling crusade until we bring smuggling activities to ground zero in Adamawa and Taraba states,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Bashir, who said the fight against smuggling activities was for the good of everyone, urged the public to support their efforts by reporting any suspicious activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether, we can combat smuggling and promote economic growth,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Customs intercepts smuggled petrol worth N36.9m in Adamawa<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, says its Adamawa and Taraba Area Commands intercepted smuggled Petroleum Motor Spirit, PMS, valued at&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41483,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4466,642,384,15],"tags":[1405,644,16133,387,20705,180,4129,20706,3286],"class_list":["post-41482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-adamawa","category-customs","category-metro","category-news","tag-adamawa","tag-customs","tag-intercepts","tag-metro","tag-n36-9m","tag-news","tag-petrol","tag-smuggled","tag-worth"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
