Again, Smugglers kill Customs officer in Ogun

It was further gathered that the suspected smugglers, upon sighting the vehicle conveying the officers, reportedly opened fire on them.
In the ensuing melee, it was reported that two officers went missing from the scene.
Confirming the incident in a statement, the Public Relations Officer of the FOU in Zone A, Theophilus Duniya, said some suspects have been arrested.
“The attacked officers are from FOU. One is confirmed dead, while the other one is still missing.
“It happened on Tuesday in the afternoon. They were on information patrol when they were attacked. It was an unprovoked attack that ended the life of one and the other one is still missing.
“The one that was found dead, his rifle was missing; but we can’t say for the other one that is still missing until we get to the end of it.
The Customs appealed to Nigerians to desist from attacking customs officers who are on their lawful duties.
“Anywhere customs officers are seen, if they cannot assist them to carry out their operations, they should not attack them.
Duniya, however, noted that the identities of the two officers cannot be released to the public domain yet, noting that their families must be contacted officially.
“I cannot release their identities to you because at the moment, I’m not sure if their families have been contacted. So we need to reach out to their families officially before we go to the press,” he maintained.
The incident occurred in Kobape village, along Abeokuta – Sagamu expressway in Obafemi – Owode local government area of Ogun state.
