Rampaging custom officers kill motorcyclist, batter and arrest brother of deceased

The police have now begun investigations into the killing of a 25-year-old commercial motorcyclist (okada rider), Saheed Omotosho and the battering and subsequent arrest of his elder brother, Rasheed Omotosho, for protesting the unjust killing of his sibling.

Reports say trouble started at the Mosalasi bus stop, Alagbado, Lagos State when the Custom officials chased a vehicle loaded with suspected smuggled bags of rice on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway and eventually caught up with the smugglers.

But a group of hoodlums reportedly stopped the Custom officers from carrying out their duty and started offloading the bags of rice from the vehicle of the officers forcing them to call for reinforcement which eventually turned out to be bloody.
