The Bad drivers, The Custom Officers and the outcome (Pics)



This incident happened on friday, the 27th of november at asaba. I was heading to the MTN office along the expressway when I saw about 5 Brand new 2015 model Land cruisers and a Hilux van being chased by some Custom guys; those custom officers were on Pathfinder truck. You dont need a prophet to be told that those cars were coming in from lagos or even Cotonou. It was learnt that those cars were driven by professional 'fire-wor' chaffeurs that are ready to kill any officer (police inclusive) if they are stopped at any check point. Those cars do not have custom papers and necessary clearance from NCS. More of the pics after the cut..



As the hot chase ensued, those 'fire-wor' guys tried outsmarting the custom officers by veering off the expressway unto the neighbourhood - probably to find an escape route from there. The end result was disastrous as on of the Land cruiser cars hit a camry {which sommersaulted many times} and knocking the driver unconcious.

A the end of the chase, 2 of the brand new Landcruiser jeeps were riddled with bullets; the other one's four tyres were all busted and the body badly damaged as a result of the collision with the camry. I managed to get some pictures of the one the Land cruisers. The other two has been towed away by the Custom and the FRSC guys. Only two of the new Land cruiser jeep and the hilux escaped the chase.



Morals: Never try to outsmart the law; Always be patient.
