A clearing agent, Adeyemi Salau, has become incapacitated after a yet-to-be-identified officer of the Nigeria Customs Service, Federal Operations Unit, Zone A, Ikeja, allegedly shot his right leg at the Berger checkpoint, Otto Wharf Bus-stop, in the Ajeromi Ifelodun Local Government Area of Lagos State. Salau told our correspondent that he had gone to the PTML terminal in Tincan to clear a vehicle when he was attacked and shot in the leg by the official. He said, “I cleared a Toyota RAV 4 2019 model from the PTML terminal, Tincan on March 17, 2021. The owner of the vehicle and a friend, Monday, were both in the vehicle when I drove to the Berger checkpoint, where the customs officers from the Federal Operations Unit stopped me and ordered me to wind down the window of the car. The customs officers were about 20 at the checkpoint. Immediately I wound down, a two-star customs officer started hitting me with a gun. “The officer brought out a jackknife and attempted to stab me, but I waived it. The same officer ordered me to get down from the car and immediately my right leg stepped on the ground, he shot me. “None of the customs officers explained what I did wrong. Other customs officers started beating the car owner; my friend who saw that I was in pain and made attempts to help me, was also beaten up. “My boss, who was unaware of what happened, called to warn me to be careful because he heard a gunshot close to the office. He was surprised when I told him I was the one that was shot. I was still explaining how the incident happened when the customs officer that shot me collected my phone.” Salau said the customs officers left him when some Special Protection Unit officers intervened.
