Investigative Journalist, Fisayo Soyombo, has leaked video of suspected officers of the Nigerian Customs Service physically assaulting two men accused of recording their activities.
As seen in the video shared on X on Tuesday, the officers known as ‘Aboribo Customs’ had demanded reason behind the men recording them as they visibly beat them with belts.
Based on the conversation between the officers and the men who appeared to be truck drivers, the incident occurred at Badagary, Lagos.
The officer who recorded the assault accused one Tunde of sending the men to record the alleged smuggling activities of his colleagues at Oloko, Badagary.
Despite denying being sent, the officers continued the brutalization of the men.
Soyombo has, however, called the attention of the Nigerian Customs to the disturbing video as he demanded the motive behind the assault of the men as well as the hidden activities around Customs checkpoint.
