Pandemonium broke out yesterday in Ikoko‑Ilashe community along the Idiroko border in Ipokia Local Government Area of Ogun State when some Customs officials shot one dead and injured many others along the Idiroko border.
Vanguard gathered that the violence erupted when some youths from three communities of Koko, Alaari and Ilashe resisted men of Customs in the state from evacuating over 900 bags of rice already stockpiled in a warehouse at Koko village.
An eye witness told Vanguard that the Customs officials started shooting at the youths which hit the youth leader identified simply as Timothy while many, including women and children, were allegedly injured.
