SOJ WORLDWIDE ONLINE NEWS first published the news of Superintendent of Custom, Owombo Segun John on November 5, 2022 when he appeared in a viral video, he exposed trucks loaded with smuggled Petrol enroute neighbouring West African countries. His trouble started according to a leaked audio sourced from the Facebook Page of Yekeen Sarafadeen Olaide where he narrated his ordeal after his arrest last year. In the new audio, Owombo said he was detained without adequate care for exposing and arresting economic saboteurs. He added that after he reported the ugly incident to his boss, he was arrested, beaten and tortured. He was later framed up that he had mental health issues but said nothing was wrong with him. He said he was mentally sound and that his patriotic zeal to make Nigeria a better country prompted the release of the video exposing the smugglers. In a sane country, according to him, he ought to have been honoured as a Patriot but in Nigeria, he was hounded into detention instead. As at the time of filing this report, Owombo is still languishing in Nigerian Customs Service detention for his loyalty to Nigeria to enable the economy bounce back. He is calling on President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed TINUBU for a proper investigation to expose the cartel responsible for bunkering and smuggling of our fuel across the border without any form of benefits to the economy of the nation. According to him, he has all the evidence to expose the perpetrators. OUR PUBLICATION ON November 15, 2022 "NIGERIAN Customs Service Officer, Owombo Segun John who was detained for exposing the rots at a Nigerian Border in Adamawa State where scores of trucks loaded with refined petrol are being smuggled to neighbouring countries has been deployed to their Head Office in Abuja from Adamawa. Owombo is expected to meet with the Comptroller General of Customs while in detention. This was confirmed to SaharaReporters on Monday during a phone conversation with his brother, who also stated that Owombo informed him that his life had been threatened since he was incarcerated. Last four days when I called him, he told me the customs officers have been threatening him. They say they would terminate him. Since then, we could not reach him again. It seems they have collected his phone. “But a source within the office told me this morning that he has been taken to Customs National Headquarters in Abuja,” Owombo's brother said. He also described the claims by some people that his brother, Segun is suffering from a mental disorder as untrue. He continued: “My brother is a very brilliant man. Someone that was posted to Adamawa and has been working there since, how can you now say he is insane? That is a lie. They are just trying to cover up." The claim that he was found naked is also not true. He told me that immediately after he released the video, he was attacked by some customs officers and tanker drivers. He even told me that if he is allowed, he has some evidence to back up his claim,” he added.

Nonsense! This custom guys just dey cash out since buhari stopped fuel stations around borders. Fuel business now is hot cake especially around idiroko/owode border. I could remember the day a custom man told me he will remove the fuel in my car cuz I had full tank and was heading to the border town. I laff. I told him his father can't even try it . Tinubu should pls do something about this custom guys . Customs smuggle rice themselves, there wives buy fuel in big kegs without sorting anybody cuz they have the power. But let an ordinary man buy fuel in 10ltr for his own personal use , this custom will seize it if he doesn't sort them. Many youths are lazy now cuz they help customs to stand on the road waiting for who is coming with fuel. Nonsense. Many businesses in that area already collapsed. |

Parachoko:He risked it all to save the economy of a nation but your small brain narrowed it into politics. Peter Obi or Tinubu will come and go but if Oil theft is not stopped Nigeria is doomed. Borrow sense small |

The day cases like this and the illegal drilling of crude oil from the Niger Delta creeks, that is the day the real governance starts in Nigeria. The stolen crude oil if recovered is enough to put the Nigerian economy on the path of restoration. That day will surely arrive one day and Nigeria will be great again. |
