Ibrahim Egungbohun Dende, notorious as the biggest smuggler in southwestern Nigeria, was caught on video threatening to kill an Assistant Superintendent of Customs (ASC) who intercepted his smuggled goods.

The incident, which occurred in January, precedes FIJ's undercover investigation exposing the collaboration between Customs bosses and smugglers. Dende, vehemently denying involvement in smuggling, launched a counterattack, accusing FIJ of character assassination. FIJ, in response, unveiled exclusive footage of Dende's threat, showcasing the intricacies of the smuggling underworld and its connections with Customs officials.

The videos reveal Dende's brazen boasts and the alarming extent of his influence within the Customs system, posing a significant challenge to law enforcement efforts.
