@OP did not watch the video.

It was evident that the man knew nothing about salutation, protocols and others. It was shameful and disgusting.

The man was either a repentant bandit or boko haram



Poor and terrible journalism.
No name, date of recruitment, educational background, offices held and notable doings.
So anybody who knows nothing about salutations and protocols is automatically a bandit or boko haram? grin

Why una nor dey get shame like this?

Don't mind these shameless fellows. How can you defend a blunder like this and even call out those criticizing it as unpatriotic? Shows you how low we have fallen as a country.

so what's now the truths cos what I notice was that the man was not trained, it's likely he has no certificate or merit to hold the post he is holding just appointment.


So if people claim that he is a repented boko member we may not be far from the truth

stop saying what you don't know, you should know that the training and regimentation of the military is far far higher than that of the custom, upon that we still have some soldiers that are doing worst than that. I will send you some videos to prove my point.
Maybe that man has never been to any drill parade since his passing out from the training ground. Mind you, there are some military personnel that had never handle rifle since after their POP.

Guy, stop confusing me with your father...

By the way, what exactly is this fact you so confidently talk of?... That the bandit in the picture on the left is the same person in Customs uniform on the right? That's the foolish logic you're trying to force down the throats of sensible Nigerians? And for not believing that trash, that is what makes me a hopeless zombie?

The way some of you display stupidity so confidently in public is quite nauseating. Go and heal yourself of your madness before it completely ruins what's left of your brain cells. That the current govt is messing up is not an excuse or justification for adults to be acting like morons.

The way some people comprehend and interpret things in this country sometimes can be quite shocking.... How did you come to the bizarre conclusion that the OP (fact checker) is proud of that Customs officer? shocked

A false story is being peddled about, a journalist does a fact check and dismisses the story as false. From just a visual check, both men in both pictures dont even look anywhere alike. Instead of being angry with the person spreading the falsehood, you (and several others on this thread) rather seem to be angry with the person who pointed out the story is false. Is that how much we love falsehood in this country?

Let's all agree that he isn't a repentant terrorist.
The question still remains. Why was he having a hard time knowing when to salute and how to turn?
From the pictures he doesn't look like he's a new Recruit but aan High ranking Officer.
Did they go and give him his uniform in the house?
It's obvious he didn't go through any TRAINING whatsoever.
Re: Fact Check: Did Customs Recruit Repentant Boko Haram Member As Officer? by snoopz: 12:27am On Oct 22, 2021
quota system rubbish
how can a man that can't even salute properly get to the rank of deputy superintendent of customs how
as if the customs no get board to check this rubbish but quota system don settle the matter.
welcome to Nigeria with no shame

I'm going to use this as an example.

Isn't this just wonderful logic. You watched a video of a few seconds and then decided that you know that someone was not trained and had no certificate?? Can you prove your assertion?? And the next thing you say is that because you watched a short video you have decided that he is a Boko Haram member?? Based on what facts??

Do you also believe that he resurrected from death?

Don't you think it's necessary for people to use common sense sometimes?

I was expecting a very detailed investigative piece.
Investigative journalism has gone to the dogs in this country.
So, does it mean that they are unable to get the true information about the custom officer in the said video
They couldn't even get his real name, rank, and what event and date that video in circulation was made

The Cables Newspaper, it's a shameful and junk piece of sh!t you guys just wrote up there. undecided




Thanks yhu! They know the name of the said killed bandit but couldn't even try to tell us what the name of the custom officer is.

Yhur guess is as good as mine. Are they afraid of mentioning the custom officer's name for any security eeason or what? I doubt it.

When I saw the video,I knew the Customs Officer wasn't the same as the rifle-wielding bandit. But why was a trained officer who has been in the service not able to salute his superior officer appropriately? He even wanted to shake his superior officer. That was an unforgivable error. You don't shake hands with your superior unless he extends his hand to you first. That shows that he is not a repentant bandit though,he is not a well-trained officer. He was brought into the service through the backdoor.

If Prime Minister Abubakar Balewa and northern region of Nigeria could have high school students such Muhammadu Buhari without WASC enlisted as officer cadet and sent to MONS, Aldershort, England in 1962, the current Nigerians presidency can easily recruit a Boko Haram so-called repentant as DSC, Customs.

All the video shows is that the man messed up his protocol at that particular time. Simple. That's all it showed. But people seem desperate to read meanings into it.

Some say that he is a repentant bandit or boko haram member, yet they have no proof of this. The bandit that they alleged was him actually died years ago (and I don't think that he magically resurrected).

His ability to properly follow protocol at that point in time has absolutely nothing to do with his certificate or if he is a good customs officer.

Some bigots have already started labelling him as "aboki" when they don't even know where he is from.


Uniformed personnel from around the world have often failed their drill on occasions in which they are either very excited because they've just been promoted or they are nervous because they are before dignitaries or on TV. They get punished for this, but it is not an indication of their academic qualification, ethnicity, it doesn't mean that they have dementia and neither does it mean that they cannot do their core jobs.

These are senior members of the South African Police Force performing their drill very poorly during a funeral. Do they have dementia? Are they bandits or abokis??

This is a US Marine drill team badly messing up their silent drill. Are they abokis? Do they have dementia?

All these instances or references you cited are unrelated to how messed up Nigeria agencies are, you know what I am saying, you don't have to pretend.

If we have the opportunity to check his qualifications we would be surprised.


This is different from messing up a protocol he looks unqualified and lost, his qualifications should be questioned etc you understand.
