**Two Customs Officers in Trouble for Killing Osun Driver** A dramatic incident has unfolded in Osun State as two officers of the Nigeria Customs Service have been arrested by the Osun State Police Command over the shooting of a driver in Osogbo, the state capital. The incident occurred on Sunday at the Dada Estate area of Osogbo. According to the police, the Customs officers, Kolawole Suuti and Danjuma Samuel, were reportedly chasing suspected tokunbo (foreign-used) vehicles when the incident happened. Unfortunately, the driver of one of the vehicles, an ash-coloured Toyota Corolla, was shot and later confirmed dead by a medical doctor at the Osun State University Teaching Hospital. The police swiftly responded to the incident and arrested the two Customs officers. Several items were recovered from the scene, including a pistol, live ammunition, and two vehicles. The suspects are currently in police custody, and the Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Gotan, has ordered a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. The police have assured the public that anyone found culpable will face the full wrath of the law. They have also urged residents to remain calm and cooperate with security agencies by providing credible information that can aid the investigation. This development comes after a previous incident where a commuter was allegedly shot dead by Customs operatives along the Osogbo–Iwo Road in Osun State. The Osun State Police Command has been at the forefront of ensuring that justice is served in this matter. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of accountability and the need for security agencies to handle situations with caution and respect for human life. The people of Osun State will be watching closely as this investigation unfolds to ensure that justice is served.
