Report just reaching our news desk that rampaging smugglers launched an attack on officers of the Ogun State Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS).

The officers, on routine anti-smuggling patrol, had intercepted some smuggled bags of rice and were escorting the seized items when, at about 8:00am, today, Friday, March 8, 2019, they ran into an ambush of reprisal at Papalanto by people suspected to be smugglers.

The attackers, according to a press statement by the Command’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Abdullahi Aliyu Maiwada, pelted the officers with stones, bottles, cutlasses, sticks and other dangerous items.

The distressed officers reportedly sought for reinforcement that saw operatives of the Nigerian Army, Police and Customs men from both the Federal Operations Unit (FOU), Ikeja, and Ogun Command coming to their rescue.

Before then, two of the officers had sustained severe injuries.
