Customs intercepts police uniforms, pistol, explosives in Oyo

The Oyo/Osun Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service intercepted 573 Nigeria Police Force crests, 92 yards of police camouflage uniform fabric, a pistol, six pistol magazines, a pump-action magazine, and 60 detonating cords during anti-smuggling operations in August 2026. Acting Customs Area Controller Wale Moses Adewole raised security concerns over the unauthorized possession of these materials, which could be misused for impersonation or unauthorized access to restricted areas. Other seized items included bags of rice, cannabis, used tyres, and used vehicles.
