The Seme Border Command of Nigeria Customs Service and the Badagry Division of Nigeria Police said yesterday that they had put in place measures to check rampant attacks from smugglers.
The two federal agencies said in Badagry that the measures were necessary following two days of gun battle with smugglers at Gbaji-Yeke customs check point.
The DPO in Badagry Police Division Mr  Dankoli Mohammed, and the Seme Border Customs spokesman, Mr Ernest Olottah, confirmed that the smugglers have attacked the Gbaji-Yeke check point on June 25 and  June 26.
They said that the smugglers attempted to shoot their way through the check point along Seme-Badagry-Lagos expressway, but they were resisted by men of the customs and the police.
Mohammed said that it took the efforts of a joint security task force, including soldiers from the 242 Battalion, Ibereko, to repel the attacks.
Olottah said that the smugglers might have attempted to go through Idiroko route in Ogun state to Lagos, but found the security there difficult to beat.  
He assured that the situation was now under control and there was no casualty on the side of the task force.
