Aliyu commended the Office of the National Security Adviser, NMDPRA, and other security agencies for their collaboration in the operation. He urged the public to support the fight against smuggling by reporting suspicious activities to security agencies. He also called on the media to educate Nigerians on the economic and security risks posed by smuggling.
