From: OYO/OSUN Customs Command
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Oyo/Osun Area Command, is mourning the loss of one of its dedicated senior officers, Superintendent of Customs (SC) Kabiru Tijani, who tragically lost his life in a fire inferno along with his wife and four children.
According to a statement released by the Command's Public Relations Officer, Superintendent of Customs Kayode Wey, the incident occurred in the early hours of Monday, December 2, 2024, at approximately 3:00 am, when a fire engulfed their residence in Ede, Osun State.
SC Kabiru Tijani was described as a dedicated officer who played a crucial role in the Command's success, particularly in coordinating and executing successful anti-smuggling operations. His wife was also an active member of the Customs Officers' Wives Association (COWA) Oyo/Osun Chapter, known for her contributions to the welfare of the Customs community.
The Command has urged the public to disregard unfounded reports surrounding the incident, as the priority remains to provide support to the bereaved extended family and the lone child survivor, while further investigating the circumstances.
Comptroller Ben Oramalugo, on behalf of the Officers and Men of the Oyo/Osun Area Command, has commiserated with the family and friends of the deceased. SC Kabiru Tijani and his family have since been laid to rest in accordance with Islamic rites.
