It was gathered that the customs operatives suddenly stopped and one of them shot him despite the plea of a soldier.

Shehu said the customs men immediately fled the scene.

The victim was lucky to survive the attack as the bullet only brushed his stomach, leaving behind the wound treated at the Garki General Hospital.
