Just when families of passengers of an east- bound luxury bus which was on its way to Lagos are smarting from th irreparable loss of their loved ones occasioned by a robbery attack which left many dead and scores critically injured , the matter raised its ugly head again , with claims and counter- claims on when and how it all happened.

The National Council of Managing Directors And Licensed Customs Agents of Nigeria (NCMLCA), has mapped out strategies aimed at creating a constant liaison with security agencies in the country with a view to ensuring that the nation’s gateways are tightly closed to arms dealers, drug peddlers and fake drugs smugglers. To this end, the Association has selected a special team saddled with the responsibility of exposing the activities of all those involved in such criminal act in the nation’s border posts.

The Police at the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Adeniji-Adele, Lagos recorded a breakthrough last Monday when it intercepted a truck loaded with large cache of ammunition. Three suspected notorious illegal arms dealers were also arrested with the truck at Shaki-Oke-Ogun border in Oyo State while they were trying to smuggle the truck into the country. At the end of the operation, 97,250 rounds of 12 mm live cartridges and a barretta pistol were recovered from the truck.
