Nigeria Customs Service and Vipers Volleyball Club produced commanding performances at the ongoing 2026 CAVB Zone 3 Volleyball Club Championship in Ghana, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

In the women’s competition, Nigeria Customs Service began their campaign with a 3-1 victory over Ghana Immigration Volleyball Club, recovering from a first-set loss to win 22-25, 25-18, 25-13, 25-20.

The reigning CGC Volleyball Premier League champions followed that display with a dominant straight-sets win against AS Douanes VC of Burkina Faso, sealing the contest 25-18, 25-16, 25-8.

Vipers VC, champions of the 2025 National Division 1, were equally impressive.

They defeated Dynamic VC of Benin Republic 3-0 with set scores of 25-18, 25-22, 25-20, before overcoming Sonabel VC of Burkina Faso 25-17, 25-14, 25-20 to maintain their strong start to the tournament.

Vipers captain Esther Mbah praised the club’s leadership for ensuring their participation at the championship.

“I want to thank the management of Viper VC for ensuring we attend this championship,” Mbah said.

“The tournament will assist the squad in making a huge mark in the upcoming 2026 CGC Volleyball Premier League.”

In the men’s event, Nigeria Customs Service extended their winning run with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over All Stars VC of Benin Republic, taking the sets 25-15, 25-20, 25-17.

Vipers manager Jabar Suraj Abiodun commended his players for their efforts in the opening matches and stressed that the squad would remain focused on their target.

“We are in Ghana to secure the trophy and we will not relent,” he said.

Meanwhile, an elated Sports Director of the Nigeria Customs Service, Samuel Onikeku, expressed delight over the performances of the country’s representatives at the club championship.

He credited the victories to the investment and support of the Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, and the management.

“I want to commend the players, coaches and entire crew for their performance at the ongoing Zone 3 CAVB Club Championship,” Onikeku said.

“The win can be attributed to the continuous investment of the Comptroller General of Nigeria Customs Service, CGC Adewale Adeniyi and his management; the players are properly motivated before, during and after tournaments.

“Our main objective is to return home with the trophy as we did in Ghana last year during the 2025 Super Cup.”
