But why would a magistrate go to enforce an order of a Court? Is he now the Police or Sheriff? His duty is to give the Order and allow the law enforcement officers carry it out. What sort of Lawyers are we breeding in this country sef?

I am not supporting this condemnable act but people should learn to respect themselves and know their limits. The Customs officers should also be dismissed and punished if found guilty.
Have you heard the term 'Mobile Court' before? Maybe you should look it up lipsrsealed

What a very stupid statement to make" the Magistrate did not wear and uniform". What right do they have to slap anyone at all? Why are there laws? If they felt aggrieved, why didn't they take the right step to address it? Our society is an animal kingdom indeed.

What the hell are this imbeciles saying, so you mean as force men which your are not you have the right to molest citizens and coming to say because he wasn’t wearing his magistrate uniform gives you an excuse.
Well If the magistrate agrees to settle out of court that just goes to show the weakness once again of the judiciary.
It will be imperative for the Lagos state government to wade into this matter as Fashola would have rightfully done in this instance to ensure the law that’s it toll.
This is completely arrant nonsense.

He said, “There was an unfortunate incident between some of our operatives and the security men attached to the Lagos State Mobile Court. The security men came for an operation around our vicinity. We were accused of slapping a magistrate. I am not confirming or debunking that, but in that situation, the magistrate did not wear uniform, so no one could identify him. But the heads of the security agencies have met and the matter has been resolved.

Re: Customs Officers Beat Lagos Magistrate For Impounding Vehicles by wickedworld: 11:37am On Jun 13, 2016
Simple ,they should be Judge by hanging. Don't know what our force men is turning this country to they always feel they are the law and harras innocent citizen.

There should be a procedure whereby judges with no uniform spy nd harras any force men that breaks the law so they can behave themself when they know they are been watched.

If not lack of discipline what gives them the right to slap any body just like that, oh becuse is a jugde this time guess they are so so sorry.

Criminals on uniform, especially police judges should look into their case enouhg is enough.

The thieves/bribe taken Custom officers. They should serve jail term if not dismissal for slapping a magistrate. They said he was not wearing uniform so they could have killed him becos they were wear stealling uniforms. If these fools are not punished they will also one day, slap buhari becos he is he wearing ankara.

There was confusion in the Ikeja area of Lagos State on Friday after some officers of the Nigeria Customs Service, Federal Operations Unit, Ikeja, allegedly attacked a magistrate, Lekan Aka-Bashorun, for impounding their vehicles.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the customs officers allegedly slapped Aka-Bashorun, while two policemen and two paramilitary officials attached to the Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit, were also beaten up.

It was gathered that court exhibits and recording gadgets were also allegedly damaged by the customs officials, who reportedly claimed that their vehicles could not be impounded by the Lagos State Mobile Court.

PUNCH Metro learnt that on Friday around 1pm, the task force officials with the mobile court went to Allen Avenue, Ikeja, to impound vehicles caught violating traffic laws.

The officials were said to have arrived at the NCS, FOU headquarters, Ikeja, where some private cars were reportedly parked along the walkways.

Our correspondent learnt that as the mobile court officials impounded the vehicles, some customs officials allegedly barricaded the highway with stones and tyres.

The customs officers, who were said to have forcefully removed the number plates from the impounded vehicles, allegedly hit the magistrate for ordering that the vehicles be impounded.

A witness, who gave his name only as Ibrahim, alleged that two mobile phones belonging to the officials were seized by the customs officers during the rampage.

He said, “It was around a car wash area. To show that it was wrong to park vehicles by the walkway, there was also a ‘No parking’ sign, put there by the customs authorities. But some vehicles were parked there. The state mobile court impounded the vehicles.

“But the customs men trooped out and blocked the highway with stones and tyres. They beat up the court officials. One of them slapped the magistrate. They removed the number plates of the impounded vehicles. They also took two mobile phones. A camera, which was being used to record the scene, was taken away.”

PUNCH Metro learnt that two customs officers were arrested by the police during the affray, while officials of the mobile court were quickly taken away to safety.

It was gathered that the two customs officers – identified as Goyit Bulus and Sunday Olugbogi – were later released on bail.

The Public Affairs Officer of the task force, Adebayo Taofiq, confirmed the attack, adding that items taken away by the customs officers had yet to be returned.

He said, “One of the customs officers, identified only as Yusuf, slapped the magistrate for ordering his court officials to impound the NCS officers’ private vehicles for traffic offences.

“Two other customs officers beat up paramilitary officers and policemen at the scene. It took the intervention of the task force Chairman, SP Olayinka Egbeyemi, to have the court officials rescued.

“The assaulted magistrate’s stand is that no government official is above the law. The magistrate has directed the NCS to compel the officers to return all court exhibits, the camera and the mobile phones taken away from the court.”

The Nigeria Customs Service Public Relations Officer, FOU, Ikeja, Ejesieme Uche, confirmed that there was a clash between customs officers and policemen attached to the mobile court, adding that the heads of the NCS and the police had met and resolved the matter.

He said, “There was an unfortunate incident between some of our operatives and the security men attached to the Lagos State Mobile Court. The security men came for an operation around our vicinity.

Bros, peace maker and trouble shooter are one and the same thing. A trouble maker is one who instigates trouble but a trouble shooter shoots and kills trouble as the name implies. Pls take note. We all here to learn.
