The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has said its officers involved in the incident that occurred along Ijebu Ode road on Sunday are being interrogated.

A video, which went viral on social media on Sunday, showed a supposed passenger of a commercial bus being allegedly shot dead by a customs officer, though, it was denied by NCS, saying it was an accidental discharge.

Giving further details, Mr Joseph Attah, the Public Relations Officer of the NCS, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday, explained that the Customs Assistant Comptroller General, Zone A had on Monday visited the Federal Operations Unit in the zone at Ikeja, Lagos to interrogate the officers involved.

He said that the investigation was to find out the immediate and remote causes of the unfortunate incident that led to the death of an innocent citizen.

According to him, the interrogation will also to reveal if a better handling of weapon would have averted the incident.

“The officers involved are being interrogated, we look at it holistically, including weapon handling skills.

“If the officers are found guilty, they will be punished appropriately, we will allow the investigation to take place first.

“We still stand our ground that it is not a passenger of the bus that was deliberately shot dead but the victim was hit by the accidental discharge.

“An audio is now trending from one of the passengers of the bus that the person that died is not one of them.

“We insist that the person that died was not a passenger but a good Samaritan who used to assist our officers, we described him as a friend of Customs,’’ he explained.

The spokesperson said that training of its personnel was a continuous process, adding that the Service often sought assistance from the military in this regard.

“Like we said that in our statement, it is painful and totally unnecessary to lose life in anti-smuggling operations.’’

He urged the general public to be wary of what was being posted on social media because some of those things could mislead them.

The man shot dead is actually not a passenger but an off duty customs officer from benue state.
One of the relative to the slain man stated to us that the wife of the slain is expecting a baby and might put to bed soon.
Men in uniform has made traveling by road a difficult, dangerous and harrowing experience to road users an its high time authorities concerned do something towards curbing this menace.

Most of the officers that perpetrate these brutal cold blood killing of civilians using guns provided to them by the Nigerian government are Hausa-Fulani officers; they are usually brutal whenever they are working in the Southern part of Nigeria.

The truth is, if not for Yoruba people's love for betrayal and selling out of other Southern Nigerians to Hausa-Fulani in order to get some crumbs that fell of northern dominated Nigerian government, there is nothing that ought to bring Southern Nigeria together with Northern Nigeria because Northern Nigerians don't value human life, they love poverty and are religious extremist who sacrifice human capital development for ancient religious doctrines and practices angry

Yoruba people are the single reason the north take we southern Nigerians for granted, all because of useless favors they ought to get by merit in a functional country (for instance, just because they want Osinbajo to become next President, they are foolishly supporting a terrorist to rule them again without asking if they will be alive to witness the fake promise, its depressing to be in one nation with foolish, selfish, backstabbers and backward thinking lunatics angry ), yet they claim to be sophisticated my foot angry sad

I warned Atiku to give Yorubas VP slot, Atiku should have picked a Yoruba VP so that Yorubas can be happy and not vote the terrorist again just because they want VP.

Atiku ought to have known that Igbos would have still voted for him en mass even if he picked Yoruba VP, all Igbos want is a safe, prosperous Nigeria free of tribalism, religious extremism, terrorism, incessant killings and tyranny, Igbos don't care who becomes the President so long as its not a tribal-religious terrorist, Atiku if u eventually lose the election, blame yourself angry angry

The zoo republic of Nigeria!

Yet supposedly educated people are excited that Buhari has granted law enforcement the right to shoot alleged election riggers.

The assumption is that these people are so upright that this huge power of Judge(determining who a rigger is) and executor (dishing out justice of killing) will not be abused.

Nigeria is a failed state and there is no hope for this country

Customs are the most reckless and irresponsible arm of government when it comes to the way they operate on our roads blaring siren unnecessarily and often driving against traffic. They operate like they are above the law

he who goes to justice must be with clean hands?
i asked again, why did u edit my post.

The question is why did u gun down an unarmed man? being a friend to customs or a traveler is 100% irrelevant.
it is just like shooting down MANNABBQ dead because he is a useless fool, doesnt mean he is not a human being.
This above was my original post, how come u edited it? u deserve to be shot, because the president said vote snatchers should be killed. My comment/post is my vote.

I heard the gun crack before it was shot. I don't think that is by accident. It was an accidental crack and an accidental discharge.

why do we need to read about accidental discharge only on unarmed civilian ?
You love ones are out there hustling right now. how would you fill to get a call later in the day that one of your own would never return home again! because of accidental discharge undecided angry
