BORDER SECURITY.
There is one thing to enthrust the lives and properties of the people upon a leadership and the other to maintain the quality trust when you consider the security importance to the society.
At the border between Nigeria and Benin Republic seme, it is a matter of priority to focus more on security considering the porousity of the frontier.
Despite the numerous unapproved routes plied by smugglers, armed robbers and traffickers on human beings which hangs as the proverbial sword of Damocles on the neck of the customs AREA COMMANDER,pragmatic comptroller Dimka who abhors personal aggrandizement for the stability of the nations economy is not compromising to the antics of the economic sabouteurs.
The officer gentleman [DIMKA] having excelled in the job of revenue generation for the nation does not need a soothsayer to convince the good people of Nigeria, his antecedents speaks volume and there are intimidating.
Security being the major priority for peaceful border operations, the customs boss who does not compromise with the security of lives and properties of the people has remained the only comptroller to sacrifice his energy and resources to curb illegal transactions at the border post under his control.
Comptroller Dimka V D[fsi] who is dubbed the best chairman of the customs community relations has achieved a lot through this meeting with the indigenes of the border villages, one of such dividends of his strict security alert is the recent robbery attempt by the notorious [T K] and his gang. Going by the logistics of these armed robbers the area command would have suffered casualties if not for the refusal of one of the BAALE who happens to be an ardent member of the community relations meeting for the gratification from the armed robbers ,the Baale in turn gave out the robbers to the security agents.
It could be recalled that the robbers surrendered to the superior fire power of the officers, courtesy of the cordial community relationship between the various security agencies with the villagers that translates credible commendations.
For these achievements in the command, security wise , it is not unconnected to the Comptrollers articulation of the challenges at the border post of seme. He enjoined the officers and the critical stakeholders to amplify issues that will promote a secured environment and de-emphassise those capable of driving a wedge between the good people of Nigeria.
Indeed border security is not a task to be handled with kid gloves. But the present management of the Nigeria customs service seme command have achieved a commendable feet in the area of security and revenue generation.
