Commissioning the facility on 18 September 2026, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, DFS, stated that providing decent accommodation for personnel and their families is essential to building a focused, motivated and mission-ready force capable of meeting Nigeria’s security demands.

Represented by the Chief of Policy and Plans, Headquarters NAF, Air Vice Marshal AY Abdullahi, the CAS noted that the facility reflects the Service’s sustained investment in the wellbeing of its personnel. He emphasised that an airman provided with decent living conditions is better positioned to remain focused and fully committed to duty, as improved accommodation helps reduce domestic pressures while enhancing morale, productivity and operational effectiveness.

The 30-flat facility is expected to ease accommodation challenges and improve the quality of life of beneficiaries while contributing to NAF’s capacity to deliver airpower in support of national security objectives.

The Acting Customs Area Controller of the Command, Deputy Comptroller Oladapo Afeni, disclosed this on Thursday, 17 September 2026, during a press conference at the Command’s headquarters in Idiroko, where he reviewed its operational activities and achievements.

He said the seizures included 1,204 bags of foreign parboiled rice, 3,893 parcels of cannabis weighing 1.878 tonnes, 428 pneumatic tyres, 8,675 litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), 24 bales of second-hand clothing, four sacks of used shoes and 500 litres of diesel.

Afeni said the seizures resulted from intelligence-led enforcement operations and improved inter-agency collaboration, stressing that the Command remained committed to strengthening border security while facilitating legitimate trade.

“Our concerted operational strategies, intelligence-led enforcement, and enhanced inter-agency collaboration have yielded remarkable, tangible results across all key focus areas,” he said

A major highlight of the seizure was the interception of a 2026 Range Rover Sport with a DPV of ₦417,011,982. “Our relentless anti-smuggling drives have dealt severe blows to illicit trade networks operating across Ogun State.”

In line with inter-Agency collaboration, the seized parcels of cannabis sativa were handed over to a representative of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for further investigation.

Receiving the items, the Commander, NDLEA Idiroko Special Command, Olasumbo Akande, urged Nigerians to join the campaign against rampant drug abuse. “Idiroko remains a no-go area.

The Nigeria Customs, NDLEA, and other sister agencies will always come together to say “No” to hard drugs coming into our country or using our border as a transit for illegal goods,” he said.
