Flagrant Disobedient of Court Orders By the Chief of Defence Staff And the Chief of Defence Intelligent Agency
On the 8/01/2024 the vessel MT KALI and 13 crew members (while on sea trial from Lagos to Port Harcourt) after a major repairs on the vessel, were arrested by the men of the Tantita Security Services (TSS) on suspicion of their involvement in Dealing on Petroleum Product without License.
The vessel and her crew members were later transferred to Defence Intelligent Agency (DIA) on the instructions of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) for further investigation.
The Law Firm of Obinna M Ofodile & Co. were briefed by the owners of the vessel to undertake legal services on behalf of the vessel owning company.
After the transfer of the crew members to the DIA all efforts of their family members and lawyers from the law firm to visit their love ones and clients was vehemently rejected by the DIA, as they were confined and kept incommunicado.
On the 22/01/2024 the law firm of Obinna M Ofodile & Co. secured a court order of the Federal High Court, sitting in Warri, Delta State, via a Suit No. FHC/WR/CS/5/2024 directing the DIA to allow “…Mr. David Adeboye (the captain of the vessel) and the 12 crew member unhindered access to their lawyer in preparation for their defense.”
Several letters attaching the court order was sent to the Chief of DIA to allow the crew members access to their family members and their lawyer. However, the Chief of DIA has refused to obey the court order.
The Nigerian Police saddled with the responsibility of protecting lives and properties of all Nigerians and the internal security of the nation via the provision of section 4 (d) of the Nigerian Police Act, 2020, was mandated to carry out an in-depth investigation into the matter, after which the police has filed a charge in the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja in Charge No. FHC/ABJ/CR/18/2024, the charge had come up in the court on 12/02/2024 and 26/02/2024 and the Police were unable to produce the defendants for their plea, citing the refusal of the DIA to transfer the defendants to the police for arraignment, despite letters written to the CDS by the Inspector General of Police.
The court frowned at the inability of the Police to produce the defendants for arraignment; the matter was further adjourned to the 18th day of March, 2024 for arraignment.
The public should please ask the Chief of Defence Staff, why the daley in releasing our clients for trial?
On July, 2023,(as reported by the PUNCH news-paper) the Chief of Defence Staff, Major General Christopher Musa, lamented the delay in the trial of suspects handed over to civil authorities for prosecution, the same CDS is slowing down the wheel of justice by not allowing the arraignment of the crew members on board the vessel MT KALI, what has gone wrong?

Ibrahim Egungbohun Dende, the biggest smuggler in southwestern Nigeria, recently threatened to kill an Assistant Superintendent of Customs (ASC) who stopped the smuggling of his goods from Benin Republic into Nigeria, FIJ can confirm.
The event occured in January, one month before the release of FIJ’s undercover investigation unveiling, among other things, how smuggling is aided by Customs bosses who take bribes from smugglers and then betray patrol teams by updating smugglers on their colleagues’ itinerary.
On Tuesday, February 20, FIJ released the trailer of the investigation — ‘Undercover as a Smuggler’ — by ‘Fisayo Soyombo, its founder and editor-in-chief, and followed it up with a multimedia story on Wednesday and a 16-minute documentary on Thursday.
DUBIOUS REBUTTALS
The revelations prompted Ibrahim Dende, better known as ‘IBD Dende’, to deny involvement in smuggling.
READ MORE: Undercover as a Smuggler
In a rebuttal that was first circulated by some obscure online platforms before subsequently gaining ground in traditional newspapers such as Daily Trust, ThisDay, Vanguard, Blueprint and New Telegraph, IBD Dende petitioned Kayode Egbetokun, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), saying FIJ’s investigation amounted to “character assassination with calculated view to achieve damaging effects against IBD Dende and his businesses within and outside Nigeria”.
IBD Dende’s publicist Simon Fakeye also circulated a piece titled ‘Fisayo Soyombo: When a reporter becomes assassin’, writing: “Fisayo Soyombo in his so-called investigative report [sic] defamed Chief Ibrahim Dende Egungbohun known as IBD when he said, “IBD International Hotels, Ilaro, well-known by all and sundry to have been built with proceeds of smuggling” (par 10). But in all of his 4,519 worded two reports, Soyombo would not give at least one evidence to establish his defamation that his target was a smuggler who deals in rice and guns, what a character assassination!”

Similarly, Oba Akintunde Akinyemi JP, FCIMN, the Eselu of Iselu Kingdom, who described himself as “a First Class Monarch in Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State”, wrote an open letter “to debunk the information which one Investigative Journalist called Fisayo Soyombo has put in the public domain and was also discussed recently on Arise Television Nigeria”.
THE SMUGGLER IN ACTION
In response, FIJ has since published an exclusive detailing how motorcycles used by bandits and insurgents to inflict terror on innocent civilians, as well as hard drugs, including tramadol, are among the goods being smuggled into northern Nigeria by the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), the agency that should be checking the crime.
FIJ subsequently obtained a video of Dende threatening a Customs official who intercepted his vehicles containing smuggled rice from entering.

In the first of the videos, a frantic and irate Dende can be heard repeatedly telling the Customs officer, whom he simply identified as Rotimi: “May it never be well with you.”
Despite wielding guns, all the Customs officers in the footage can be seen pacifying Dende, imploring him to calm down.
“All the Customs officers with guns you see in those videos are his boys,” one source told FIJ.
FIJ subsequently confirmed that the said Rotimi is an Assistant Superintendent of Customs (ASC)!

Dende can also be seen bragging, “I have called Ejigbunu”, and ordering the receiver at the other end of the phone: “Call Wale, call Wale.”
FIJ can confirm that the said ‘Wale’ is Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, a Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR) and current Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC). Meanwhile, ‘Ejigbunu’ is Hussein Ejigbunu, Comptroller, Federal Operations Unit Zone A.
Dende’s repeated boasts about calling Ejigbunu confirm FIJ’s exclusive on how the NCS streamlined the passage of smuggled goods in all six states that make up Zone A to Oja-Odan, Dende’s stronghold, alone, with Ejigbunu as the Comptroller, Federal Operations Unit Zone A, detailed to monitor the movements.

“You will find out that the teeth are sharper than the knife. I will show you that I am Dende,” Dende can be heard screaming in the video, while an apparently scared Rotimi can be heard wondering: “What have I done? He is threatening to kill me.”
As can be seen and heard in the second video, one of Dende’s grouses is that Customs officers were also smuggling rice while his own consignment was intercepted.
“I saw your boss’s trailer — four trailers that loaded rice — in Seme,” he can be heard saying. “What did you do about it? I will not accept it! I have told Ejigbunu I will not agree!”
Dende: He will blame himself.
People: Calm down now. Calm down now, Alhaji.
Scared Customs Officer: Alhaji, what have I done? What have I done?
Pleading Customs Officer: I will talk to him.
Scared Customs Officer: Oga, kini mo se? (Boss, what have I done?).
Dende: May your life be ruined, Rotimi. May it never be well with you, Rotimi. May it never be well with you, Rotimi. May it never be well with you, Rotimi.
Dende: Is he [Rotimi] the only one here? Is he the only Customs officer here?
Scared Customs Officer: What have I done? He is threatening to kill me. Why?
Dende: Look, Ejigbunu [Hussein Ejigbunu, Comptroller, Federal Operations Unit Zone A] is the one I called. Ejigbunu is the one I called; he [Rotimi] will regret being born. Ejigbunu bring it [the smuggled goods] in.”
Dende: You will regret it. You will find out that the teeth are sharper than the knife. I will show you that I am Dende.

Dende: Pacing while making a phone call. Is he the only Customs [sic] here?
Dende: I saw your boss’s trailer — four trailers that loaded rice — in Seme. What did you do about it? I will not accept it. I have told Ejigbunu I will not agree.
Dende: I have told Ejigbunu I won’t I agree. If you don’t clear… you will have a corpse on Ejigbunu’s behalf.
Dende: He will blame himself.
People: Calm down now. Calm down now, Alhaji.

Ibrahim Dende Egungbohun, the don of smuggling in southwestern Nigeria more commonly known as ‘IBD Dende’, has temporarily suspended the smuggling of turkey from Benin Republic into Nigeria following FIJ’s undercover investigation that ran from Tuesday until Thursday.
On Tuesday, FIJ released the trailer of an undercover investigation by ‘Fisayo Soyombo, it’s founder and editor-in-chief, and followed it up with a multimedia story on Wednesday and 16-minute documentary on Thursday.
Due to the traction generated by the story, Dende has since ceased the movement of frozen foods from Benin Republic. FIJ understands that although rice was the focus of its investigation, the amount of turkey and chicken entering into Nigeria through Dende is massive.
Until FIJ’s undercover investigation, more than 50 trucks of turkey were smuggled into Nigeria every week through IBD Dende’s network alone.
New information available to FIJ is that Dende is not the only one involved, but there is indeed an ‘Inumidun Squad’, “99.9% of whom are smugglers”.
“Dende is just the ring leader,” said a source familiar with their operations who asked not to be named for fear of elimination. “They have a squad of smugglers who are all rich and influencial, with Dende as the ring leader.”
FIJ also understands that the Customs service “to the very top” is familiar with the operations of the ring.
“Although Dende ‘owns the whole of Customs,'” said a second source who also pleaded anonymity, “he is just the one in charge of ‘settling’ Customs for passage.”
“Nigerian turkey sellers go to Cotonou to make the purchases,” the source continued. “These other people load them in their trucks, and Dende passes them from the border into the Nigerian markets.”
THE POSITION OF NIGERIA CUSTOMS
Before going to press, FIJ sent WhatsApp messages to Abdullahi Maiwada, spokesman of the Nigeria Customs, every day between February 16 and 18, asking to be allowed to present the findings of this investigation to the Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC), Bashir Adewale Adeniyi MFR, so he could respond to them. However, Maiwada did not reply to any of the three messages.
When FIJ rang him on WhatsApp on February 18, Maiwada answered the call but protested that the medium of reaching out to him with “the information against Customs” was “unprofessional”. He still did not budge when he was told the caller was out of the country and so could not have made cellular calls or sent a Short Message Service (SMS).
When asked to supply the details of the ‘professional’ medium through which he or the CGC would rather receive the enquiries — an email address, another phone number or a physical address — Maiwada angrily terminated the call.
WHAT NEXT?
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has yet to officially respond to the investigation.
Dende, meanwhile, could be nursing a 2027 Ogun State governorship ambition. An active Twitter account exists for that purpose. Its most recent tweet was on February 11.
