Customs boss warns officers against misconduct
IN an effort to sanitise the Nigeria Customs
Service (NCS), Comptroller-General of the
Service, Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (rtd), has
warned officers and men that anyone indicted of
indiscipline and corruption would be made to
face the full wrath of the law.
Hameed, who spoke in Kano while addressing
officers of the command insisted that officers
under his watch must rid themselves of
corruption or be prepared to face maximum of 10
years imprisonment.
Speaking on the new policy of the Federal
Government, the Customs boss said the era of
indiscipline, undeserved promotion and
deployment to “juicy commands” are over.
Hameed said, “The system cannot continue. We
are seen as corrupt officers because we prefer
to collect bribe. Hundreds of trucks move into
Kano on daily basis, but we don’t bother to
check them irrespective of what they carry, just
because of our corrupt tendencies. Henceforth,
anybody caught collecting bribe or involved in
any act of indiscipline will be investigated and if
found guilty would be dealt with ruthlessly.”
