Some operatives of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) on Wednesday morning killed a man at Oko-Oba, Lagos.

The operatives were said to have opened fire after they sighted a bus suspected to be carrying smuggled rice, The Nation reported.

It was gathered that a young man, alleged to be a smuggler was shot in the head.

According to witnesses, the Customs officers riddled vehicles around the scene with bullets as they fled.

“There would have been a serious riot this morning at Abule Egba but for the intervention of policemen from the Rapid Response Squad (RRS).

“Those Customs people have started again this year. They shot a young man on the head this morning. They were just shooting like drunkards. Blood is everywhere,” said a source.
