The Acting Customs Area commander of Oyo and Osun Command Deputy Comptroller Wale Moses Adewale has disclosed that within one month of assumption as the acting-controller, the Command made significant seizures with a cumulative Duty Paid Value DPV of Two Billion, Seven Hundred and One Million, Seven hundred and Sixty-Two Thousand, Five Hundred and Fifty-Eight Naira Only ₦2,701,762,558.00k.

He stated this at the first press briefing of the year 2026 as the Acting Customs Area Controller of the Oyo/Osun Area Command, recently. He further explained that within the period under review, the Oyo/Osun Area Command recorded notable operational successes in line with the Service’s mandate of revenue generation, suppression of smuggling, and protection of the national economy.

These items were intercepted at various flashpoints across the Command’s Area of Responsibility through credible intelligence, sustained patrols, and strategic enforcement operations.

In the area of revenue generation, the Command collected the revenue of the  total of ₦8,374,471,941.10k Eight Billion, Three Hundred and Seventy-Four Million, Four Hundred and Seventy-One Thousand, Nine Hundred and Forty-One Naira, Ten Kobo) for the month of December 2025. 

However, it is worthy of note that the Command’s surpassed the Revenue target of the year 2025; ₦86,297,581, 081.00k (Eighty-Six Billion, Two Hundred and Ninety-Seven Million, Five Hundred and Eighty-One Thousand, Eighty-One Naira Only) with a Revenue Target Surplus of ₦13,135, 424, 793.29k (Thirteen Billion, One Hundred and Thirty-Five Million, Four Hundred and Twenty-Four Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ninety-Three Naira, Twenty-Nine Kobo) resulting to a 15.22% increase in the year 2025 revenue target. 

“This reflects on improved compliance, effective monitoring, and the commitment of officers to lawful trade facilitation.  Let me restate that the Oyo/Osun Area Command remain committed in its zero-tolerance against smuggling and other forms of economic disruption. We will continue to collaborate with sister security agencies and engage stakeholders to achieve our shared objective of national economic security.”

“I also wish to caution smugglers and unpatriotic elements to desist from illegal activities, as the Command will not relent in the discharge of its statutory responsibilities.”

“Let me also use this medium to appreciate the Executive Governor of Oyo State;  Engr. Seyi Abiodun Makinde for his unwavering support towards achieving the set goals and all stakeholders for their compliance and stance in ensuring the Command achieve set objectives while also appreciating the press for their timely dissemination of information to the general publics just so they can know what we stand for and what we do.”

Once again, I thank the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi for his leadership and support, and I appreciate the media for their cooperation.
