The House of Representatives has begun investigation into the alleged extrajudicial killing of five persons in Iseyin, Oyo State, by men of the Nigeria Customs Service.

Rasak stated, “We are not saying that the Customs or any other government agency should not perform their official duties, but what baffled us most is that when you consider the nearness of Iseyin to the nearest border, if not more than 200 kilometres, it will be about 200 kilometres. And we believe that there is a stipulation of 25 kilometres to the border, where the Customs can operate.

“Why was it that they were not arrested there at the border before coming to this long distance?” Abejide queried.
