The Nigerian Customs were involved in a clash with the youths of Ayetoro, Yewa North Local Government Area, Ogun State.
The incident which occured on Friday night prompted the multiple shooting of a popular youth of the village, Razak Adeyemi, AKA Soliu, and the subsequent burning of three Custom officers’ vehicles.
An eyewitness who narrated the incident said that the trouble started during a misunderstanding between the officers and a resident who was suspected to be a smuggler.
The issue was said to have been resolved by the involved parties and everybody went their separate ways.
The residents were however shocked when an hour later, the Customs officers returned to the community in fully-loaded military vests with Hilux trucks, and opened fire on the village.
The villagers, as reported, got angered and engaged the officers in what turned out to be violent.
