"Stop Robbing Us" - Nigerians Exposed How Custom Officers Are Stealing From Them

A human rights activist in Twitter known as SEGA has exposed how the Nigerian custom officers are robbing Nigerians who are coming back to the country

He made this known when he tweeted

Custom officers are robbing NIGERIANs returning home & demanding they pay duty on personal items brought in. iPhones are still drawing the attention of authorities to make people a target for extortion. When exactly will authorities prioritize earning our trust?


It is time to declare a State of emergency on the robbery going on at the airports by Customs and other agencies making life unbearable for travelers and returnees. Most have been frustrated and some have missed their flights simony because some rogue officers wanted bribe.







Nigerians who have been extorted by customer officers also shared their experience below

@segalink i paid 130 thousand naira to custom to collect the laptop my dad sent for me. I am still trying to understand the reason and why I should pay such amount for a laptop.

Thank you @segalink ! This is Second time in 7 days I am a victim of Nigeria custom. First to pay over N200k £300+ to clear 9 plain colour shirts that cost less than £200 and now to pay for 2 iPhones my wife brought in for both of us. It’s a great pain to be a Nigerian
