Nigerian parliament orders investigation into customs smuggling and abuse allegations.

The Nigerian House of Representatives has ordered an investigation into the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) over allegations of smuggling and abuse. The investigation, led by the Committees on Customs and Excise and Defence, was prompted by reports of mass smuggling of cars and rice through Badagry under the watch of customs officers, as well as incidents of brutality against civilians. The committees have six weeks to report back, aiming to enhance oversight and restore public trust.
