Etim Ekpimah, Ifeanyi Onuba and Oluwatobi AkindeleA Customs officer has killed a civilian, Godwin Onoja, while allegedly trying to extort N5,000 bribe from travellers coming from Europe on the Sagamu end of the Lagos-Ore-Benin Expressway. The driver told them that the bus belonged to Iyare Motors and it was pointless to ask him to stop. The customs officer asked us where we were coming from and we told him that we were coming from overseas and that we were here on a visit. Before we knew it, one of the two Customs officers in green sweater ran into the bush, leaving the others. When they got to the scene of the incident, they met the body of the deceased and the angry mob attacking a Customs officer.
