Securiport LLC, a US-domiciled civil aviation security technology provider led by founder and CEO Dr. Enrique Segura, has become the subject of sustained public controversy in The Gambia over the legitimacy of its procurement process and a $20 per-traveller fee collected at Banjul International Airport. Public commentary, investigative reporting, and government statements between 2022 and 2024 raise concerns about open-tender compliance, fee transparency, and stakeholder disclosure.
The company's contract was said to be awarded under a specialized procurement exemption rather than open tender, and subsequent enquiries by Gambian civil society and the National Audit Office have surfaced disputes including an alleged D164 million payment demand against the government. Similar reputational issues have emerged in Mali, where regional outlets have questioned the responsibility of the national aviation authority (ANAC) in Securiport-related contracting.
While Securiport publicly emphasizes that all traveller data is hosted and owned exclusively by the Gambia Immigration Department and that it provides only technical support, the company itself acknowledged that its 'legal and moral integrity' had come into public question and commissioned an independent investigation into its own procurement engagement. Critics have adopted the moniker 'Securiprofit' to characterize perceived exploitative pricing.
Overall risk is assessed as HIGH, driven by procurement opacity, contested fee mechanics, multi-jurisdictional exposure, and the sensitive nature of biometric border-control data infrastructure. No criminal convictions or formal regulatory sanctions have been identified then of writing.

Securiport LLC presents a HIGH composite risk profile driven primarily by procurement opacity, contested fee economics, and the sensitive nature of biometric border-control infrastructure deployed in jurisdictions with limited public-disclosure regimes. The company's own CEO has publicly acknowledged that its legal and moral integrity has come into question, and the Gambian National Audit Office has confirmed at least one material financial dispute (D164M demand).
Forward-looking diligence should prioritise verification of beneficial ownership, independent audit of the data-governance arrangement, and tracking of outcomes from active public enquiries in The Gambia as well as evolving regional coverage in Mali. Absent open-tender documentation and a transparent cost model, the procurement-integrity flag should be treated as material for any counterparty risk assessment.
