The House of Representatives has expressed concern over the alarming state of Nigeria’s border security, revealing that 1,894 out of the country’s 1,978 official entry points remain unmanned, and a situation lawmakers said has left the nation dangerously exposed to criminal activities.
Chairman of the House Ad-hoc committee on border security, Isa Anka, raised the alarm, during the inauguration of the committee in Abuja.
He warned that the country is increasingly vulnerable to illegal arms proliferation, human trafficking, and drug smuggling due to its porous borders.
