Led by the Assistant Comptroller-General of Customs/Zonal Coordinator, Hammi Swomen, a delegation visited the Odulaja family in Lagos to convey condolences and assure them of ongoing assistance in their time of need.
Mr. Odulaja, Susan’s father, expressed gratitude for the support received, stating, “I thank God and the Nigeria Customs Service for their support.
“Any support that they give us, I will ensure that I use it wisely and invest it in the children.”
The Nigeria Customs Service reaffirmed its commitment to the well-being of the affected families, emphasising their responsibility to support and assist during this challenging time.
The service pledged to continue working closely with the victims’ families, providing assistance and liaising with hospital officials to ensure ongoing support and engagement.
