No fewer than seven persons were feared dead, while unspecified numbers of people, including commuters sustained varying degrees of injuries when a

suspected smuggling syndicate engaged operatives of the Nigeria Customs Service in a gun battle on Saturday in Ogun state.

The bloody clash, which started around 5p.m Saturday evening, left commuters and motorists stranded for more than 3-hours when vehicular movements were halted along the expressway due to the motorists who deserted the road for fear of being hit by stray bullets, or being mistaken for smugglers by both rampaging shooters.
