Prior to that, the NNPC had raised the alarm about the increasing number of filling stations in border towns, saying they were funnels for fuel smuggling to neighbouring countries. According to a recent report by Deutsche Welle , a German public state-owned international broadcaster, smugglers are having a field day selling Nigerian fuel at cheaper rates than the conventional petrol stations in Cameroon.

Put the guy's picture continously on their website telling them the world has known of their corruption . And we want to guy freed and those implicated arrested.

Lol.. Nigeria government and it puppets in crime.. will gladly suspend and suppress anyone trying to save the country from them. Make power shift first and see if we go deh alright. Bokoharam Tinubu Shettima Peterobi

You see how Buhari Regime and APC party are proving their criminalities and Terrorism to the whole World.Every Fulani's person is a liar and deceiver.

'If the president & his family are not stealing, those around him will not steal & by extension, others in high & sensitive positions will not steal & you would've reduced corruption by 75%' Peter Obi Who still needs validation of this fact? Nothing must happen to this patriot

Corruption is officially done in Government , Almighty GOD will definitely eliminate all of u one by one

Arrest instead of rewarding

DavidHundeyin another topic that will sell well

Nigeria custom is very corrupt bunch of robbers so called Fulani cabals God Will judge for this evil attitude by killing Nigeria economy for selfish ill gotten wealth

Why would he capture his face in the vid 🤦‍♂️ ?

You can see the reasons we need to separate ourselves from the animals, we are suffering for what we have enough but some people are smuggling it out for other foreigners while the right owners have been deprived of it. May GOD reward the bad leaders with evils.

This doesn't even surprise me. This country is so rotten.

Our security officers are the real criminals simple.

Nigerian is a wellçome development well looters and killers running campaign.. I said it Nigeria can never develop with kind of system there run ... ApC and PDP are wost people on earth

Being an honest person in Nigeria is more dangerous than anything. WeCantContinueLikeThis

n Nigeria customer service should be petitioned

This custom officer says he has been in that place for a long time.l want to know is this the first time they are doing this smuggling? if this is not the first time, why is it now that he is raising alarm?

That’s the reason they constructed railway line to. Over when our cities are not connected . Just tell us that Niger republic is part of Nigeria

💭💭

There's something secret about this Niger Republic that we don't know yet. It's either some of our top politicians are from there and pretending to be a Nigerian even hold a high office in our nation. Soon the secret will be exposed. The interest is suspicious.

the officers are among the corrupt, politicians are their boss

we must protect this officer

He deserves National award. We give you MON

...May they not kill him in detention to cover their nefarious tracks!

You can see the corruption we are talking about is our government in power is killing Nigerians through gun and hardship and evil policy

UN NgLabour UN_HRC SAVE A LIFE..

Thieves in power

Can you imagine that, it means those behind the Smuggling are the Officials themselves but unfortunately we have very WEAK Government.

Why are they so wicked

Pls human rights activist should adise to defend this atre patriot

The Nigerian Immigration service headquarters Abuja not issuing passport 10 years renewal booklet after capturing and all official payment done until you pay extra approvals offline before getting your passport. How long can we watch this happening in this country please.

Goes to show the Nigerian populace that the oil theft saga was just to improve the image of the 'new' NNPC and further blame the Jonathan govt. That's why no arrest has been made except these sort that exposes more theft ongoing.

Igboho No 2!

Over to us the Yoruba to make sure nothing happens to him. Even though smuggling is a known cancaworm of our nation, our brother has been bold like our Igboho to reject this behavior. Welldone bro

Hmmmm

Nigeria is a big joke 🤣🤣

DavidHundeyin ruffydfire

deltops

Set him free, he only exposed their corruption.

Xipher_01

MBuhari nothing shd happen to this man

Sincerely I’m fedup of this country

Please, stop brooding and go FreeCustomOfficer

Fraudulent country

The only reason they couldn't touch P.O is because he is a Pro in this game, and a running mate...now, nobody can rescue this man...before this tankers move, there's an envelope of cash,to every personal on the highway collect or be killed and forgotten...may God save this man💔

People are dying, buying fuel at the highest rates and yet they just ignore us.

Hmmmm why do they have to detain him .when at the South West. In ipokia local government area .will dont have fuels .the so called border patrols are killings the innocent people. Just because of a 4little of petrol.

I know it that government will come after this guy Corruption in Nigeria is much

I think the best thing is to divide the country

That is whst u face when u speak against the ills in this administration

Some sects of people love this because the oil no come from their side and they are in charge. If this oil dey for North we for Dey live like their servants while they live like Dubai prince. I pity southerners romance them because of politics.

BenHundeyin

CustomsNG why detain him? instead of encouraging your officers to stop smuggling and reward good deeds, your detaining him means you encourage criminality. One Nigeria indeed. Detaining him is despicable & strongly condemned.

But they recently rewarded a Hausa police that refused the bribe and promoted him. Is this not another diligence on duty, why being detained?

woye1 dmightyangel DavidHundeyin . Can this government just surprise Nigeria by doing what is right, just for the first time.

I watched this video yesterday on Arise Tv

When I said Fulanis destroyed the zoo called Nigeria, I know what I am talking about.

Personally to me it's only foreign criminals and terrorist that hijacked the administration of Nigeria government that is why they doesn't want any good thing about Nigeria. We should vote out APC and PDP come 2023 presidential election. Obidatti is trusted to manage Nigeria.

Lawless country

Such evil can only happen at places worst than zoo, animal kingdom. The people rejoice when the right-ous rules.

This is a contraption you call a county and they still want us to be part of this bulshit , hell no we can never be part of this nonsense any longer

GabrielNaija An INDEPENDENT investigation is definitively needed here…CustomsNG CustomsNG cannot be allowed to harass and intimidate the whistleblower and speak on behalf of the so called “city limits” filling stations, while they operating more than 50 km plus away from the border.

releasejohnowombo promote and preserve him.

I pray this man gets the reward he deserves for exposing ennemies of this country. If anything happen to him, the comptroller general should be held responsible

This is to tell you that nothing is in order in this country all sector are extremely corrupt

This man is worth fighting for. Please, what is his name?

Nigerians will arrest and punish petty thieves but worship criminals on uniform, and in the office. Shame!

Nigeria 🇳🇬 in trouble. Vote Peter Obi for our next president.

Welcome to zoo nation where animals rule over human, then we have chance to change this some among us still want this people around

This is a country where criminals are celebrated and honest people are persecuted... Borrowed from Obi

Why are Nigerians not wise and not see the bad side of corruption

Thought they said the video was fake we are still very far from getting it right in this country

RELEASE AND UPGRADE HIM NOW!!

God

MBuhari you are a man of integrity please protect this man .

Who's doing whom Harm in Nigeria, and why would a Custom Officer be arrested for exposing Petrol Theft and Smuggling into the Neighbouring Nigerian Nations by the same Government that urge Citizen to be Vigilant and Report incidents ?

Zoogeria

I tweeted sometime ago that it's usually nnpc branded tankers moving this fuel to Cameroon

Nigeria detest honesty

They should be promoting him rather than detaining him.

They must release that man ooooo

This guy deserves an award 👏 ❤

This is the kind of people that deserve National Awards but hmm...... The Beautyful ones are not yet born!

At this rate, peter Obi is the only person we can entrust our economy to. He's the only one clean enough to sanitize this country

BenHundeyin is this Right

I knew it the moment I saw him in that video. This country na cruise.

I knew he will be arrested

I kinda knew this would happen.

I was expecting this though.... Evil thrive in the government

Why arrest him? Why didn't you go after the criminals stealing our oil? This country favors criminals like the drug lord .

Truth is a crime in this country

ShehuSani Princemoye1 BenHundeyin

That is the reason the subsidy can’t be stopped because it serves all the neighboring countries.

Just see the kind of country we are in called Nigeria. I am very sure, it is the quota system officers that will give the order to detain him.

Actually there was a country 😔

This is why Peter Obi must be our next president. Nigeria is in a deep mess. Our leaders are worse than bandits and criminals. I pity anyone against PO. That person is like a slave who has found comfort in his captivity. Are you not tired of suffering?

What will you expect from a father who is a thief? His children must support stealing.

The guy said it in his video, he knows that he will be arrested but wanted to do the right thing. This shows that the government of Mr integrity is really fighting corruption indeed

Question: Who is the Enemy of Nigeria? Answer:.........................................

They better release that man. Nigeria belongs to all of us.

I am not surprise, are you? 🙂
