Owombo Segun John, a detained officer of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) who exposed how refined petroleum products, particularly Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, are being trafficked into Cameroon, Chad, Niger Republic and other African nations, has been transported to Abuja from Adamawa State. Owombo is expected to meet with the Comptroller General of Customs while in detention.

Nigerian Customs Move Detained Officer To Head Office For Exposing “Booming Petrol Smuggling Business” To Niger Republic, Cameroon, Chad, OthersIn a video, he narrated how he arrested so many smugglers on Wednesday, November 2, at Malabo Checkpoint on Belel Road, Adamawa state.

“Last four days when I called him, he told me the customs officers have been threatening him. They say they would terminate him. Since then, we could not reach him again. It seems they have collected his phone. He continued: “My brother is a very brilliant man. Someone that was posted to Adamawa and has been working there since, how can you now say he is insane? That is a lie. They are just trying to cover up."

When asked why Owombo was calling on Bola Tinubu, the ruling APC presidential candidate, in his video, he said Owombo did that due to inexperience.

The custom officer, segun owombo?, deserves an award. Government itself is the number one problem of Nigeria.

He ll be promoted..... just wait

This country is a zoo 💔

That's why we all need to support and vote for Peter Obi

Corruption has eaten deep in our system but obi is coming to rewrite the wrong

This is why we must vote Obi and vote out this useless Apc and pdp thieves and corrupt ppl

Sad

SERAPNigeria will you not intervene in this matter? The only thing we hear you say is you want to sue Buhari, ow intervene SERAPNigeria SERAPNigeria SERAPNigeria

One would have thought he did the right thing and that he should be commended; but in Nigeria, right is wrong, and wrong is right. A huge paradox. This has been trending, yet no right thinking official has come to his aide. I call on the IGP to save him.

The cabals ruling Nigeria are all criminals none of them want to be expose but when is comes poor citizens u see them see them saying we are the ppl destroying Nigeria not knowing the ppl on top are the main criminals. No Nigerian loves Nigeria as a country

We are not ready yet in this country

This is why most people are afraid to speak up against corruption because of the fear of being killed and detained he is an upright man doing his job but the people on top are the criminals let’s protect this man nothing should happen to him

Nigerians need to come out for this guy…we need to protest for his release, things like this is the major reason why Nigerians will see evil and be scared to speak up because when they come for you no one will fight for you…we need to come out in numbers for this man.

What can we do to protect this man?

Because say na common man na why them get mind arrest m.. they should've arrested Peter obi for exposing them too na...

SayNoToAnotherChance

GODSNEAR1 CustomsNG have been the engine of corruption in Nigerian economy. PeterObi said it that oil theft is an organized crime carried out by people in Government. We are monitoring situation of the patriotic officer.

They are many this is not the only guy involved in it We have generals in the military doing all this

It's time for Nigerians any where you're to come out in protest for this young officer, in Western world what he did is called whistle-blower, and there's a law protected a whistle-blower

THEY ARE MEANT TO PROMOTE HIM AND NOT THE OTHER WAY.

So Nigeria customs are also part of the problem. On their name is going on the list too. We finna cover the rest of the country with water if care isn't taken cos at this point one can extrapolate that the entire govt is corrupt.

I definitely knew this man was not a Northerner and I was right. The Northerner officers there knw so much about this and are benefiting from it

Thievery 101. Dont call out the master thief.. Nigeria, which way?

This officer knows quite alright this won't end wt handshakes, he is not a new recruit & he's aware of his Code of Conduct. He knows what he did by putting dat video online is an offense. He knows the proper channel to use for this kind of information to get straight to CG's desk

No wonder they're fighting PETER OBI by all means. Because they know it won't be business usual.. Evil people

Instead of promoting him, afterwards giving him a national award. he is humiliated for doing D right thing. With this act, others will not be motivated to expose ills in their establishments. Just like D guy that expose Dapo Abiodun for credit card drugs etc 🇳🇬 na useless country

Now, how can other officers report things that are not right in Nigeria when the detractors are involve.

Do hope is not just trying to blackmail the customs service perhaps he has committed an offense and trying to cover up, because Nigerian can be funny sometimes

Now you can see when Peter Obi said if people in government that are stealing the oil they want to eat him raw now this man make Nigerians to know the ogars ontopdon detained him because he exposed them

Injustice arrested justice seeker. When they proposed to change this country name recently they forgot to suggest impunity as the new name

DavidHundeyin SERAPNigeria UN Please do something about this

And they r telling us they dont know who is thiefing d petrol god will judge this government

FREEOWOMBOSEGUN

let's stop typing and start acting

Where are the freedom fighters, the human right activists, let's come out enmass and cry for the release and promotion of this officer. If nobody speaks for him, then we all are also guilty of the same crime committed by those criminals called leaders.

This is why is very difficult to come out and speak in this country because when the people you speak against comes after you, no one will stand by you anymore...

Nawa ooo

All these crime are happening under the watch of the government of the so called Mr integrity Buhari.

Nigeria is been hijacked by fooooolans forigners criminals. Nigerians it left for U also to take back Ur country as U gave it out last time.

Nigeria need serious clean up

Please retweet till it get to the right authority

Nigeria system of tinz

Hope SERAP, TI & all d human rights organizations are invoking d doctrine of necessity to favour dis patriotic officer, who is battling d corruption behemoths!
