According to him, security measures have been put in place by the command to block smuggling of goods into the country through the area.

“We have identified all the smugglers’ routes and have deployed competent officers to fight the menace to a standstill.”

Binga solicited the support of traditional rulers, especially those at border communities to assist officers manning the areas with relevant information to discourage smuggling.

He also appealed for support from stakeholders, including members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers in sharing information on smugglers’ activities.
