On a border drill, the Nigeria Customs Service NCS shot two people for attempting to obstruct their operation in Jigawa State’s Ringim Local Government Area.

DSP Lawan Shiisu Adam, the Jigawa State Police spokesman, confirmed the incident to DAILY POST.

According to him, the incident occurred on Saturday evening in Gidan Lage village when enraged youths attempted to prevent the joint border patrol team from conducting an operation in the area.

Many bags of foreign rice were recovered, he said, during the operations.

Shiisu explained that village youths had gathered and attempted to stop the officers from carrying out the operation.

As a result, he explained, officers fired some bullets at the protesters, and two people were shot and injured.

Shiisu stated that police rushed to the crime scene and transported the victims to Gabasawa hospital in Kano State for medical attention.

This comes just days after customs officers on a border drill along the Niger/Nigeria border caused a gas explosion in Babura Local Government, destroying houses and shops and injuring many.
