The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has said it has begun questioning its officers involved in the killing of a man along Ijebu Ode road on Sunday.
NCS spokesperson, Joseph Attah, told NAN that Customs Assistant Comptroller General, Zone A, Ekekezie Kessy had on Monday visited the Federal Operations Unit in the zone at Ikeja, Lagos, to interrogate the officers involved.
Qed.ng had reported how a man was killed by officers of the NCS on Sunday in a viral video.
“The officers involved are being interrogated; we look at it holistically, including weapon handling skills.
“If the officers are found guilty, they will be punished appropriately, we will allow the investigation to take place first.
“We still stand our ground that it is not a passenger of the bus that was deliberately shot dead but the victim was hit by the accidental discharge.
“An audio is now trending from one of the passengers of the bus that the person that died is not one of them.
“We insist that the person that died was not a passenger but a good Samaritan who used to assist our officers, we described him as a friend of Customs,’’ Attah said.
