Stray bullets kill four; injure one as Customs men engage suspected smugglers in Iseyin

The joy of indigenes of Iseyin in Oke Ogun area of Oyo State who was celebrating the end of Ramadan was short-lived on Thursday as stray bullets allegedly killed four and injured one.

According to an impeccable source in Iseyin, the persons were hit by bullets when men of the Nigeria Customs Service exchanged gunfire with some bandits believed to be smugglers.

The eyewitness told Vanguard said the Customs men started shooting indiscriminately after intercepting smuggled goods coming through the borders into the town.

The persons who were hit by stray bullets were residents who were out to enjoy sallah celebration.

Following the death of the people, youths took to the streets protesting the killing of their kinsmen.

Vanguard made frantic efforts to get the reaction of the Public Relations Officer for Oyo/Osun Command, Mr Kayode Wey to the story but to no avail.

Several calls made to his lines were not picked after the phone rang repeatedly.

Animals in Uniform, all the armed forces in Nigeria behave like a common tout in the street, no training, no value for human life, even if they smuggled Buhari, why not find a way to arrest and take them to court..

How long yorubas?

Why didn't the people retaliate very fast by killing the custom officers? Una dull unaself, nothing will happen to the animals.

Life in the zoo. A normal reoccurrence

Fulani Muslim customs.

Custom opened fire and killed four residents?

I hope they fried the bastard alive?

He wasn't trained to shoot tires or other things to stop escaping criminals?
It's the same thing with those bastard police too. They just shoot people in the head and stomach anyhow. What happens to legs?
Must you shoot people to kill?

Anyway, it's the season of UGM, we go dey give am to each other anyhow...
Bastards.

Yourba enjoy the government security agents you so much cherish

That is the zo.o they want to remain in,

Unknown custom officers in uniform under an unknown government in a country filled with unknown people... Ah... Rip to the dead

Nigeria don tire me, which kind thing be this? No where is safe in nigeria. If you go out, death awaits u, when u are inside ur house dangote truck fit come uproot you and your bouse. Everything here is so fuccked up!!!

Large scale smuggling is a normal occurrence in the vast landmass of the north, Custom and immigration officers are no where to be found, while innocent people are suffering from their Operational inefficiency in the South.

Must be a northener.. did they lynched him or handle over to the police.. for us here Police is no no. Kill immediately.

You can't see custom officers in the northern border,but they will be flexing muscles in the south gate,that's why I so much cherish UGM,they can't try it in the east.

Neva heard customs officers shoot smugglers in the north. Broda have u heard?

This evil country sef.

Politicians have sent them to kill.


Their master "Satan" need blood.

As usual they can never hit the target, always misfiring and killing innocent people, useless institutions that lack training.

Their eye don dey open small small. Before them think say "Na we with Fulani get Nigeria, when them chop remain, we chop". Now they know Fulani go chop them whole, clean mouth. At least their Benin Republic experience don dey open their eye, but na small small the eye dey open.
All these random opening of fire by security agents na only for South them hol gun?
