A new attack on its employees by suspected smugglers along a forest route in Alapoti, Ado/Odo-Ota Local Government Area, has reportedly been confirmed by the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) in Ogun State.
The event occurred during a normal anti-smuggling operation on Saturday evening.

A mob armed with Dane guns, stones, bottles, and other weapons assaulted the patrol squad as they attempted to flee with the seized items.
