A video has appeared online showing a Nigerian customs officer slapping an adviser to Delta state governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
Mr. Samson Nwachukwu was slapped by a customs officer on the Benin/Agbor Expressway on Saturday, April 7, in the presence of his colleague and a military officer, according to human rights campaigner Harrison Gwamnishu.
Before striking him, the officer can be heard furiously questioning who Mr. Samson Nwachukwu is after he told him he was a Special Assistant to the Governor of Delta State. The military officer tells the customs officer to "bring this man down" at the end of the video.
Despite the fact that Gwamnishu did not divulge what led to the assault, he promised to seek justice for Mr. Nwachukwu.
