NCustoms issues warning after suspected bandits, smugglers kill two officers, injure one
In two separate events this week, suspected bandits and smugglers launched violent attacks, killing two customs officers and injuring another, leaving customs officers in Kebbi and Katsina States in a state of shock.
The Comptroller FOU ‘B’ Musa Ibrahim Jalo expressed grave worry and warned that any additional attacks on customs officials in the region would be faced with ferocious opposition, stressing that a directive had been granted for a thorough investigation to find and capture those responsible for the attacks.
No matter whose ox gets gored, the unit’s members will continue to carry out their duty, claims Jalo, despite this savage attack.
Traditional elders, civic leaders, and parents were also urged by the Customs Area Controllers for the impacted areas to warn their people against engaging in such heinous behavior since anyone found guilty will suffer the consequences.
