Final Day of Customs Officer Sparks Controversy in Nigeria
A video circulating online shows Nigerian port workers chanting “Ole!” (meaning “thief” in Yoruba) as a female customs officer reportedly left her post on her final day of duty.
This officer, who is said to be retiring, faced the chants as she departed her office, a scene that has sparked widespread discussion on social media.
The chant, typically used to accuse someone of theft or corruption, seems to reflect public sentiment about customs officials or frustrations with corruption within Nigerian institutions.
Some online reactions suggest that the workers were using the opportunity to express their views on customs practices, though specifics about the officer’s record remain unconfirmed.
