One person has been shot and three vehicles burnt after officials of the Nigeria Customs Service and residents of Ayetoro in the Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State engaged in a violent clash.
An eyewitness, Razak Adeyemi, told newmen that trouble started after a heated argument ensued between a Customs official and a resident suspected to be a smuggler. The matter was said to have been later resolved and both parties went their separate ways. The development reportedly angered the youths in the community, leading to violent face-off between the officers and youths in the community.
“About an hour later, four Hilux vans, with fully armed Customs officials entered our community and they started shooting anyhow in the air. After several attempts to stop them became fruitless, the youths in the area then faced them and they started shooting at the people.”
