The Ogun I Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has intercepted contraband goods with a duty-paid value of N4.63 billion between April and June, according to a report by The Punch.
The seizures generated N259.8 million in revenue for the agency during the second quarter, highlighting the financial impact of enforcement operations at the Idiroko border post.
The disclosure comes as the Nigeria Customs Service faces scrutiny over its operational conduct.
The agency has recently reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and accountability, dismissing what it termed baseless allegations as distractions from its statutory duties.
This latest revenue figure serves as a tangible metric of the command's enforcement efficacy during a period of heightened public and political attention.
The revenue generation underscores the critical role of border controls in Nigeria's fiscal landscape.
