The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has reacted to a viral video of its officer assaulting an aide to the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa.

In the video, the officer could be seen wielding a weapon, daring the man identified as Samson Nwachukwu to take any action after slapping him.

Reacting to the video in a statement issued on Monday, NCS vowed to sanction the officer for assaulting "an unarmed civilian."

“The attention of the NCS has been drawn to a video making the rounds on social media.

“In it, one of our officers was recorded assaulting an unarmed civilian.

“This action took place on the Benin-Agbor Expressway at about 5.00 p.m. on May 7,” the statement added.

Bomodi stated that the officer and other members of the team from FOU Zone ‘C’ “have since been withdrawn from patrol duties”.

"The officers are currently under administrative investigation at the NCS Zonal Headquarters Zone ‘C’, Port Harcourt.

"The officers were trained to carry out their duties with dignity and respect, and are expected to display decorum in all their conduct at all times.

“Where they fail to carry out their brief as assigned, appropriate sanctions are applied to enforce discipline.

“NCS would like to reassure the general public of its commitment to the welfare and safety of all citizens.

“It frowns seriously at any act by its personnel capable of misrepresenting its corporate image.

“We ask that all law-abiding persons go about their activities without fear of intimidation or harassment as we work assiduously to end this unwholesome incident,” the statement read.

Na govt slap govt

After this what next

No be Nigeria again

Nice update

Country where human beings behave like wild animals in the jungle, many animals in the wild are better behaved than many Nigerians, a country where sanity has gone to the dogs

It's really distasteful mehn

Military, and para military, personnels need to be trained and retrained on how to go about Thier job detail, without these kind of issues arising. They need to be told to leave thier family problems at home, and attend to thier jobs with utmost decorum. In addition to the training, I personally recommend psyche evaluation from time to time. So that Dem go fit notice when 'madness' wan start.

This man wife fit don vex am for house now, and he just go slap person papa.

.

So if he had slapped a nobody nothing will happen.

See o

Noting will happen he will only be transferred to another unit.

Trained to carry out their duty with dignity and respect?

Lol.
Clown.

If you have issues with any of the Nigerian security forces, retaliate immediately if you can.

Their investigation na scam.

Thousands of Nigerians have been assault like this but nothing happened. sha this one no concern me, all i know is that..............
