A report on Sahara Reporters
claim that the Comptroller
General of the Nigerian
Customs, Abdullahi Dikko
Inde, has submitted his
resignation letter to President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Quoting sources in the presidency,
the report said Dikko indicated his
willingness to leave his present
position on August 18, 2015.
Interestingly, the Customs boss
tenure will come to an end in two
years time. It is however unclear why he has decided to vacate his office.
The report however stated that
several top-shots in the Customs are
currently under investigation for
corruption and some of them may be
shown the way out or arrested.
Buhari reportedly earlier turned
down Dikko’s resignation in order for
him to look into the affairs of the
service, but later agreed to let Dikko
go, even as there are talks that the
president is lining a replacement for
Dikko with an officer from the South-
South region.
Recall that a similar situation played
out in the events that culminated in
the firing of the former National
Security Adviser, Col. Dasuki Sambo
(rtd), when the president turned
down his resignation, but later fired
him.
Dikko’s tenure as the Customs boss
has been enmeshed in series of
controversy. From the constant
allegations of corruption, to his
alleged forgery of his academic
credentials.
In 2009, one Olajide Oyewole in a
video testimony, confessed that he
assisted Dikko to illegally obtain
some of his academic certificates,
belonging to Nigerian Institute of
Management; certificates No 10912
and 10993 and West African
Examinations Council Certificate No.

Na lie! Dikko has spent beyond his years in the Nigerian Customs. Don't give out fake news! He has been kept there due to the fact that his yearly Revenue Returns has been on the steady rise

The Fear of Buhari is the beginning of wisdom.......... Customs? Those ones steal in cash and kinds, in billions!

Fear who? The man who is still busy campaigning?
