Summary, etc The control and regulation of cross-border activities are essential for ensuring peace and stability, and for promoting pertinent political and socio-economic activities needed for integrating West African economies. The movement of persons and goods is inevitable in undertaking these cross-border activities. Studies conducted have shown that between 4 and 5 million ECOWAS citizens ply the highways and frontiers of the Community’s territory every month. Thus, free movement of persons and goods in West Africa is encouraged to enhance the Economic Community of West African States’ (ECOWAS) integration efforts. According to this paper the porous boarders of West Africa continue to engender cross- border crime and instability in the sub-region, owing to the lack of appropriate mechanism for monitoring movements and illigal activities across these boarders.
