According to an official statement by the Nigeria Customs Service,
officers of NCS were attacked by smugglers while on patrol along
Ogun/Ole-Odan axis of Ogun State. Four suspects have been arrested in
connection to the attack.
The operation led to the seizure of 11 motor cycles which was used as a means of conveyance of 250 bags of smuggled rice.

The statement which was issued on April 16th by the command on its 'Anti- Smuggling Campaign', disclosed
that the attack will not in anyway deter Service from performing its
statutory functions most especially in the area of anti-smuggling
operations.
"Despite this unhealthy confrontation from the saboteurs of our
economy dare devil smugglers, the Nigeria Customs Service of today will
not spare anybody found in this illegal act. We will crush smugglers
out of their illegal business as we have what it takes to bring them
down," the statement read in part.
