Yes you are right, a guy who was there when it happened said the same thing, the custom guy shot his fellow officer

Truth is very glaring here. Their was nothing like accidental discharge in this case, its just a case of missing the target by the shooter officer.
The family of the deceased l just be compensated by the Nigerian customs

padi man, why u dey reason like this?
i understand u kill chicken and goats everyday to make suya.
but this is a human being, u cant just kill him like that

you watched a video where an unarmed man was shot dead, your pay masters said the late man is a water seller yesterday, today they are saying if the custom guys are found guilty they will be punished?!

everything is not politics, we are all human being before APC and PDP....
What u dont know is that APC will seize to exist after this weekend.
the lagoon will be open to accept you



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.


There is no such thing as accidental discharge, the riffle was engaged to fire
have u ever had about accidental discharge in the barrack or police station where the weapons are even stored in large quantities?
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

I don’t want to believe what I just read. Listen irrespective of wether he’s a passenger or not, their carelessness led to the death of a man. That is Murder/Manslaughter on its own first. What is wrong with NIGERIANS and our sense of reasoning?

[quote author=franchasng post=75890200]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 fail blame yourself angry angry[/

Remember that Atiku na Ex custom officer and is the same Fulanis ...Think well before u blame any tribe and no be u to speak about Yoruba

[quote author=egbetokuns post=75892750][/quote]Yes Atiku is a Fulani man but he is not an ethnic supremacist like Buhari and that is why majority of Hausa-Fulani people don't like him because he does not carry Hausa-Fulani and Muslim evil agenda on his head like the terrorist in power. That's the only reason most northerners are not supporting Atiku; they know Atiku is a business minded man who is after commonwealth and not tribals religious supremacy Buhari is after.

Atiku is a Lagos boy, a Lagos boy cares more about his success than fighting some ancient tribal religious fight like that cow rearer cum terrorist president angry

Wich kain grammer customs dey yarn sef.anybody wey see d video will see dat d incident is a straight forward incident.a custom official stopped a commercial bus and demanded for 5k bribe and wen an arguement occured then the custom official pulled his rifle from his shoulder and shot a passenger in anger.

I cannot attest to any time in Nigeria political history when the Ibo collective
vote or as a nation ever benefited the Yoruba interest from 1959 to date.

After the 1959 election, Zik an Ibo because of his hatred for Yoruba, betrayed Awo
to form an alliance with Balewa for a worthless position. Soon in 1962 combined to
jail Awolowo and in 1963 divided the Western region into West/Midwest leaving
Eastern and Northern regions intact.

In 1966, Ibo truncated the regional government under which Yoruba race was
economically at an advantage over every group in Nigeria and leading in Africa for
this unitary system which brought us down to where we are today.

In 1979, despite Awo's choice Chief Philip Umuadi as running mate, the Ibo in their
hatred never voted for him and still after the inconclusive election where Obasanjo
used 12 2/3 to decide the winner, Zik's NPP became the beautiful bride to also form
another alliance with Shangri's NPN to the detriment of the Yorubas.

In 1993, after Abiola had won the presidential election across the South and Middle
Belt, but except in the Ibo states, Arthur Nzeribe another Ibo truncated the
election with his court injunction to be finally annulled by Babangida.

In 1999, the Ibo voted against the candidate of the Yoruba, Olu Falae and massively
voted for Obasanjo, who populated his government with the Ibo and Fulani.

From 2011-2015, the Ibo dominated the government with the Yoruba having just only
Dr. Adesina based on his profession and not political.

Though Hausa/Fulani had always been in power since 1966, Yoruba had always been
marginalised under every successful governments. But under Buhari another
Hausa/Fulani Muslim, Yoruba had been more fairly treated than under any government.

In the last 53 years, the Yoruba race had been marginalised and have clamoured for a
return to the regional government. Under this agonising years, five National
Conferences were organised but on every occasion only the Yoruba race have been
consistent in its demand for restructuring based on regional government while the
North and Ibo always favoured the continuation of this unitary system which mostly
favoured them.

At the last Jonathan conference, the Ibos asked for additional States and rotational
presidency with 6 vice presidents from the present zonal system created by the
Hausa/Fulani instead of a return to the regions they criminally aborted in 1966.

Under the present scenario, Ibo and Yoruba are on the same pedestrian-VP while the
Ohaneze are Atikulating for their own Obi as VP, you our leaders are deriding and
calling your own names for an Ibo VP. What a disservice and betrayal of the Yoruba
race and Yoruba leaders - Awolowo, Ajasin, Adesanya and Bola Ige all of blessed
memories.

Ironically, a few days after the endorsement the Ohaneze under its National
Secretary went to pledged support for Buhari. So, lose or win, they are always
there. And as for the Northern elders, whoever wins between the two will always
serve their interest while Edwin Clark and his PANDEF leaders will always benefit
from any government in power via the activities of the Egbesu boys.

Almost every well to do in Nigeria today made their wealth through politics or
political patronage. Yoruba had been so poor compared to all other regions because
we have been marginalised for too long.

Atiku openly declared in Lagos last year that he regretted not taking over Logos
when his boss Obasanjo gave him the order. Are you adopting and voting Atiku as
president in memory of Bola Ige the Yoruba nation rising Sun killed by the same
Atiku and Obasanjo in 2003 and later criminally rigged out all Yoruba AD governors?

Ohaneze despite joining you in adopting Atiku are surreptitiously supporting their
IPOB agitation for Biafra by sending emissaries to KANU and other countries around
the world while you Afenifere leaders turn deaf ears to the Young Yoruba for Freedom
(YYF), call for Oduduwa Nation out of this failed contraction called Nigeria.

Where and who gives you the believe that Atiku will give you a restructuring based
on regional system. Why is it that nobody deemed it fit to question Atiku's sudden
romance with restructuring train soon after winning the PDP ticket. Where are his
democratic credentials? When did he join the restructuring train if not a fraud to
hook wick the Yoruba people for their votes.

Is not better in the meantime to continue with a government, though not perfect, but
shows the prospect of better future or one with an outlook of future uncertainty?

My candid advice to you all sirs, is to jettison the hope of having any
restructuring under any Fulani/Ibo government and embrace the YYF call for Oduduwa
Nation out of Nigeria. The earlier the better before the Ibo left us out only to be
dealt with by the Feudal.

I didn't get to see the video, so a quick question. I had learnt that they entered their vehicles and drove off.

Now my question, 1. After the "accidental discharge" did the confirm the person was dead? 2. Did they take care of the dead body (take the body with them, to deposit it at the morgue).

If the answer to the above is "no", then they customs officers knew they had fu.cked up and decided to take off, before things escalated.

This is exactly how Buhari's comment for the security officers to be ruthless to ballot snatchers will play out. "Accidental discharges" will happen, I pray it will not be my portion or that of my family and friends.

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.

it seems this their spokesperson is mad, or maybe he thinks everybody is stupid except him, didn't he watched the video, av played it over and over again, in fact the talk of whether the victim was a passenger or not is a foolish talk and not relevant, the fact is clear there that the custom officer cock the gun first then shot the man, what is stray bullet there, they want to be defending themselves, a crime is a crime self whether mistake or not as long as its not self defense which obviously was an unharmed victim, so all these are a senseless talks jare.

So it is possible they are found innocent of NOT DELIBERATELY SHOOTING A PERSON WHO ISN'T A PASSENGER OF THE BUS!

Warning to all "FRIENDS OF CUSTOMS": You may be shot dead just for the fun of it, or lack of it!

Accidental discharge is not anything close to an accident. For a round to be fired from a gun, you need to chamber the round (cock-it), turn off the safety and put a finger in the trigger guard. So how do you execute these three (3) actions and call it an accident.

Every firearm is supposed to be un-chambered, safety on UNTIL it is to be fired, and your trigger finger outside the trigger guard.
