‘REPORTER’s DIARY: ‘Customs Just Closed the Border’: Why Turkey, Chicken Suddenly Became Scarce
fij.ng/article/reporters-diary-customs-just-closed-the-border-why-turkey-chicken-suddenly-became-scarce/
Quick Glance: Why Turkey and Chicken Suddenly Became Scarce
- When the Nigerian government closed the borders in October 2019 to boost local production and curb smuggling, it inadvertently led to an influx of foreign goods in the markets.
- Following an investigative report on collusion between customs officials and smugglers, a temporary halt in smuggling activities caused a shortage of turkey, chicken, and other poultry products in Lagos.
- Visits to cold rooms and food stores in Lagos revealed a scarcity of turkey and chicken due to closed borders, resulting in reduced customer traffic and higher prices for chicken.
- Various markets in Lagos experienced a shortage of chicken and gizzards, with traders citing increased prices for chicken and difficulties in sourcing products from Cotonou due to customs resistance.

Quick Glance: Smuggler Threatens Customs Officer: Video
- Ibrahim Egungbohun Dende, the biggest smuggler in southwestern Nigeria, recently threatened to kill an Assistant Superintendent of Customs who stopped the smuggling of his goods from Benin Republic into Nigeria.
- FIJ released an undercover investigation revealing how smuggling is aided by corrupt Customs bosses who betray patrol teams by updating smugglers on their colleagues’ itinerary.
- Dende denied involvement in smuggling and criticized the investigation publicly.
- A published video shows Dende threatening a Customs official who intercepted his smuggled goods, exposing the illicit practices of the Nigeria Customs Service.
