Gideon Aboh

I’m a Dedicated and internationally certified Customs Officer specializing in Trade-Based Money Laundering (TBML), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF). I bring operational knowledge of customs procedures, international trade documentation, risk assessment, and financial crime red flags, strengthened by specialized training with the World Customs Organization, World Bank, and UNODC.

At Nigeria Customs Service Headquarters, Abuja, I support headquarters-level operations with a focus on data quality, risk management, and compliance in international trade. I analyze trade declarations and supporting documentation to identify anomalies and financial crime indicators, and I collaborate with Risk Management, Intelligence, Valuation, and Enforcement units to strengthen controls against trade-based money laundering.

Before this, I worked as a Cashier at Zenith Bank Plc, where I processed transactions accurately and ensured strict adherence to AML/CTF regulations and security procedures. That experience sharpened my discipline around compliance, documentation checks, and reliable execution.

I’m passionate about applying advanced TBML detection techniques to combat illicit financial flows, trade fraud, and mis-invoicing while supporting revenue protection and trade integrity initiatives. I’m seeking international opportunities in financial intelligence, risk management, compliance, and capacity-building roles.
