Nigerian Customs Force Officer Who Exposed 'Booming Petrol Smuggling Business To Cameroon, Others' To Undergo Psychiatric Tests, Treatment In DetentionSpeaking to SaharaReporters, a member of the family said the detained officer has been forced to undergo psychiatric tests in detention.

“He is being maltreated at the Customs headquarters; he was forced by Customs authorities to undergo psychiatric tests and he is being forced now to undergo treatment for ‘madness’ . They claim he needs psychiatric treatment,” the family member said. He also described the claims by some people that the officer was suffering from a mental disorder as untrue.

“I also found that not good. He should have followed a proper channel to report what he found and not necessarily call out anybody’s name,” he said. With millions of Nigerians grappling with periodic fuel shortages, the porous borders, spanning over 17,000 kilometres, make it possible for the product to be smuggled to these neighbouring countries easily.
