The Nigerian Customs Service (NSC) has ventured into the film industry by producing “BEYOND THE BADGE,” a film that highlights their fight against smuggling in the country and how it affects their lives as officers beyond their badges and uniforms.

They made it public on their X account with a post titled: “Nigeria Customs Service releases “Beyond the Badge”, a blockbuster film highlighting the bravery and challenges of customs officials in the fight against smuggling.”
