Customs Officials Tear Gas People At Onike/Yaba Office by santaclaws(op): 4:29pm On Feb 23, 2024
Just witnessing this right now... All because of cheap rice that's not even enough to go round 😒

It is believed that people queuing to buy the N10k rice got frustrated when the queue was too much and some of them pulled down the gate of the Nigerian customs. Still, I don't believe this justifies tear-gassing people, some of which were nursing mothers who came with their infants.

Two people have allegedly lost their lives as per news circulating around the customs office.

I don't fan the custom unit but I admit that average Nigerians abuse almost everything and make life difficult for themselves and for others.

Put away sentiment and the ill feeling about Tinubu's regime, if you have served Nigerians in things that require them to queue, you will understand how impatient and crazy they can be in such situations.

Maybe custom had a good reason to teargas them. Maybe custom didn't have a good reason to do so.

Just knew that selling of cheap rice to public will cause wahala. So much hunger & anger in the land.
Re: Customs Officials Tear Gas People At Onike/Yaba Office by matify83: 4:52pm On Feb 23, 2024
Why?

The news is very scanty of details but I can see pictures of military men carrying bags I guess will be of rice.

Deceivers.
You seized someone's goods and sold it at cheaper rate to another.

You can't sell your dog and buy a monkey without expecting a squatting animal in your house.

They have turn people to "Bambiala" and nothing cheap comes easy in this case. Teargassed because you want to survive.

Seems like famine during a war undecided. We have never had it this bad

What a national shame !

From flogging to teargassing

Things are getting better
Re: Customs Officials Tear Gas People At Onike/Yaba Office by SoNature(m):
Despite the population of Nigeria, Nigerian security operatives don't understand anything about crowd control.

Everyone must be mindful of attending any events that involved armed men in Nigeria because it doesn't always end well.

I thought you all said Lagos belongs to only Yorubas?

If this is happening in Abia or Imo will this be your response?

If this is happening in Abia or Imo, what will you call the people ?

The last time I checked, you all said Lagos is Yoruba land. Has that changed?

Some people are still recovering from the deep pain of mpawa Azu inflicted on them while dragging 300 hundred bread. Now Nigeria customs have added tear gas on their eyes. This Nigeria na animal kingdom walahi

Don't make fun of anyone. Yorubas, Igbos and Hausas were there... In fact, you don't know if the allegedly dead persons were Igbo.

If you throw a stone into the marketplace it might hit your family member. Be careful with your words. Shalom. ✌🏾
