Speaking during the handover of the vehicles on Tuesday, Comptroller General of Customs Bashir Adewale Adeniyi revealed that the operation targeted international vehicle trafficking syndicates exploiting West Africa as a hub for stolen car trades.

“Over the past several months, we have intensified our operations against vehicle trafficking syndicates operating within our borders,” Adeniyi stated.

He added that INTERPOL reports have identified West Africa as a prominent destination in a global network of stolen vehicle trafficking stretching across Europe, North America, South America, and Australia.

The recovery and return of the vehicles signify an ongoing effort by the Nigeria Customs Service to collaborate with international law enforcement to combat cross-border crime, protect international property rights, and uphold the integrity of trade routes in the region.
