In a recent revelation by FIJ (Foundation for Investigative Journalism), the notorious figure Ibrahim Egungbohun Dende, recognized as the biggest smuggler in southwestern Nigeria, has come under scrutiny for a threatening encounter with an Assistant Superintendent of Customs (ASC) captured on video.
This incident, dating back to January, serves as a precursor to FIJ's undercover investigation that sheds light on the alleged collaboration between Customs higher-ups and prominent smugglers. Despite vehemently denying any involvement in smuggling, Dende retaliated by accusing FIJ of character assassination. In response, FIJ has released exclusive footage capturing Dende's explicit threat, providing a glimpse into the complex web of the smuggling underworld and its connections with Customs officials.
The revealed videos not only showcase Dende's audacious boasts but also underscore the concerning extent of his influence within the Customs system, posing a formidable challenge to law enforcement efforts.
