He said, “I hope the CG is not trying to go head on with the parliament, these are Nigerians who have complained. We have invited him severally and he keeps giving excuses. We may have to take a resolution as House not to give the Customs attention. This is not a military era. He has now been summoned to appear before the House on March 9, if he doesn’t show up a warrant will be issue Then president of the Ohaneze Youth Vanguard, Igweka Okonkwo said they petitioned the House against the NCS due to promotion and posting that was carried out in 2015 that unfairly sidelined the South East.”

He maintained that the South East in the cadre of senior officers had the lowest number adding that “it is a systematic way of cleansing an ethnic group”.
Giving an instance with the rank of DCG, he said the North East had 21, North Central 15, South East three, North West 26, South South, eight and South West 10.

As long i would wanna know how the previous postings were carried out, (Which regions were favored most), the antecedents of this white-bearded retired Colonel dont look humanly.

Isnt he the same person as a military man, involved in the military tribunal that sentenced Ken Siro Wiwa to death? Also came back as the DG Customs Service and barred the sculpture brought in from UK in honour of Saro Wiwa's 20th anniversary, from entering Nigeria.

Just like his master Buhari, Hamid Ali is a f@vking unrepentant vindictive viper.
