The Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District, Sen. Tolu Odebiyi has condemned in totality, another killing of an innocent resident of Oja-Odan in Yewa North local government of Ogun State by the men of the Nigeria Customs Service working under the Ogun State Command, even as he described these incessant killings in this area as totally reprehensible and unacceptable.
The Senator who expressed serious concern over these reported cases of incessant killings appeals to Nigeria Customs Service to urgently de-escalate tension in the area for the sake of peace and reduce apprehension in these areas.
The Ogun West Senator also tasked the Customs officials in Ogun Command to ensure that the killers of this middle-aged man, Idowu Moses who was hit by stray bullets fired by men of the Nigeria Customs Service, are brought to book quickly as these illegal acts of these officers have been criticized by the people.
Recall that the Senator had personally written series of strongly worded letters to the Comptroller General of Customs, Colonel Hameed Ibrahim Ali, had meetings with His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun MFR and top officials of the Command in Ogun on previous killings by these trigger-happy Customs men and also moved a motion on the floor of the Senate to condemn these despicable acts.
The Senator sympathies with the families of the deceased over these unfortunate and avoidable incidents occasioned by these trigger-happy men of the Nigeria Customs Service in Ogun.
