Investigative journalist Fisayo Soyombo has challenged the Nigerian government to test his investigative prowess by providing just five police officers to uncover smugglers within one month.
Speaking in an interview with Channels TV on Friday, Soyombo asserted that with the right support, he can definitively expose the individuals involved in smuggling operations.
His proposal underscores his confidence in his investigative skills and highlights a critical issue in Nigeria’s fight against smuggling.
He argued that despite significant resources allocated to combating this problem, the results have been insufficient. By calling for a small but empowered team of police officers, Soyombo aims to demonstrate that a focused approach could yield substantial outcomes.
The journalist’s challenge comes amid ongoing concerns about the effectiveness of current anti-smuggling measures. Soyombo contends that his approach, with a commitment to transparency and accountability, would address the persistent issue of smuggling in the country.
His proposal is expected to stir debate among policymakers and stakeholders about the best way to tackle smuggling. The effectiveness of this targeted approach could potentially reshape the conversation about how Nigeria addresses illegal trade and enhances security.
