The Ogun State Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has lost one of its officers to smugglers' hostility, even as another is currently hospitalized.

It was gathered that Anti-smuggling operatives of the Command, while on routine patrol, at about 2:30am on Sunday, January 6, 2018, stormed a hideout in Asero, Abeokuta, Southwest Nigeria, where eight vehicles, fully loaded with rice, were kept.

According to the Command's Public Relations Officer (PRO), Abdullahi Aliyu Maiwada, "In an attempt to lawfully secure the said items, the smugglers and their accomplices ambushed the officers in a deadly-like manner".

Maiwada, in a press release, stated that in the ensuing encounter, "one of the officers, a Customs Assistant I, Hamisu Sani, sustained grievous injuries and paid the supreme price (died) in active service. He has since been buried according Islamic rites. Also, an Inspector of Customs, Tijani John Michel, sustained serious machete cut but is responding to treatment in the hospital".

He said two suspects have been arrested by the police in connection with the incident, while the object of crisis, the eight rice-laden vehicles have been secured at the Customs House, Abeokuta, for further investigation.

It's not worth it Sanni, RIP

Sad

after taken money from them at the borderline, you still follow them to their warehouse to raid them.. going to that location you mentioned is like going to Ibadan to arrest rice sellers in their warehouse, you can as well go to kano and Kaduna and arrest rice sellers.

where were customs when APC thugs in Abeokuta are loading rice in on daily basis, go and stay at brewery on that bridge and Lafenwa bridge if you truly want to do your job and stop taking bribe. useless custom
