Culled from PM NEWS
A stray bullet fired by a Customs officer identified as Ade, has killed a middle aged woman in a commuter bus. The tragedy occurred when the Customs officer tried to intercept a suspected smuggler around Ilashe area of Ipokia Local Government Area of Ogun State, southwest Nigeria.
The victim, a mother of five children identified as Fausat Bankole, sold fruits and vegetables and was on her way to Ihunbo market when she was killed.
According to an eye witness who craved for anonymity, “the Customs officers were at their check point and had already stopped and checked the bus the deceased was in.
“And as the bus was about to move, a motorcycle rider conveying some bags of rice suspected to have been smuggled, was ordered to stop but he refused to stop. So, Ade, the Customs officer, shot at the rider and a stray bullet hit Fausat inside the bus and she died.”
