In what will come across as a rather shocking development, a Nigerian Customs officer has been reportedly shot dead by his own colleague.
The sad incident reportedly happened on a Lagos expressway.
A Nigerian man who was at the scene of the incident and caught some of the drama on tape, revealed that the Customs officers were trying to extort him when an argument occurred. In the process, one of the officers opened fire and killed his own colleague. They then ran away.
The story was broken online by De Rumours Desk, a page on Instagram.
