Abstract

Much work on smuggling have focused on smuggling as a form of organised crime as well as its economic implications. The study, however, focused on the social consequences of smuggling and its impacts on society using the Idi-Iroko border community as the study’s focal point. The study is exploratory research and data was collected through the qualitative method from officials of the Nigerian Customs Service. Findings from the study show that away from economic consequences, smuggling holds stiff social consequences which negatively impacts society. These include; crime and insecurity, moral decadence, negative attitudes towards education and vocational training, laziness and acceptance of smuggling as a way of life, drug and substance abuse and health challenges.
