PoliticsNGR has been furnished with a statement from the Nigerian Customs signed by its Public Relations Officer, Joseph Attah on a viral video showing a customs officer shooting an unarmed civilian in Ijebu-Ode.

The Statement read;

"The attention of Nigeria Customs Service has been drawn to a disturbing video going viral with conflicting narratives.While it is painful and totally unnecessary to lose life in anti-smuggling operations, today at Shagamu interchange along Ijebu Ode, attempt to obstruct lawful performance of duty by passengers of a commercial bus (a white Toyota Hiace) suspected to be carrying bales of used clothing led to the death of a young man (Godwin) and serious injury of a Customs Officer, ASC1, Destiny Onebamho.

Contrary to some narratives, the young man was not a passenger of the bus but a good citizen who always come to fetch water for Customs Patrol men anytime they return to the base.

Preliminary finding indicate that it was during the skirmishes and struggle to disarm the Officer that the rifle discharged and hit the friend of the Customs (Godwin) who lost his life. The Service is already in touch with the bereaved family.

Sadly, it should be noted that while attention shifted to the dead and the wounded, the passengers who filmed with inciting commentaries boarded their vehicle and left, leaving the wrong impression that it was one of them that was killed.

While the wounded Officer is under intensive care at the hospital, the patrol team has been recalled to the office for further investigation."

Really?

You see why this country is not worthy dying for? See how they twisted the story to save their man? If it was a friendly fire, why would a passenger be videoing it and shouting because of 5000 which you guys even failed to mention? Are they also saying the beating that the trigger happy custom officer received was a friendly beating? They would have borrowed "We are not aware" from Buhari instead of these blatant lies!

Buhari led government na scam

How is it Buhari’s fault. Wasn’t Atiku a customs officer? Wasn’t he one of the people who destroyed the service. Keep your ignorance to yourself next time.

Too bad

Lies..

How can customs release a statement that the gun was shootingoniown?

So because he fetches water for them he is a lesser citizen?

Really sad.

This is another lesson on why you should never stick or side with naija security operatives. I remember a snitch who often rat people out to the army at mbiama. The day he was shot and killed he never experredit.
