As the operation border drill of the federal government enters its fourth week, the head of the task force covering Kwara, Benue, Kogi and Niger states have described the hostility and misunderstanding by Nigerians as major challenges being faced.


Addressing journalists on the achievements of his team in the last three weeks, he noted that several drums of petroleum and bags of rice illegally smuggled were seized.
