As part of the measures to carry out Buhari’s
directive to rid the nation of corruption,the new
Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs
Service, Col. Hameed Ali has demanded for the
files of top officers of the service.


Ali on Friday evening said corrupt officers and
men of the agency will go to jail and that all
Customs Area Controllers, heads of units and
departments will be accountable for infraction
dealing with false declaration, deliberate
misapplication of the tariff, undervaluation and
concealment.


Ali read the Riot Act at his first meeting with all
officers and men at the Customs Headquarters, in Abuja. He said: “Since I took over yesterday
(Thursday), I have been receiving briefing notes
to enhance my understanding of the Nigeria
Customs Service. I have articulated some ideas
to start with, and I have found it necessary to
share these ideas with you. These ideas shall be
the guiding principle and platform for a smooth
takeoff.


“First and foremost, it is important that we
know where we are going. We can start by
ensuring that we pick up the mantle of Mr.
President’s policy thrust. Therefore, in
conjunction with you, moving with you and
fighting with you we will fight corruption and
restore discipline through attitudinal orientation
for effective service delivery.


“However, I must stress this for emphasis. I will
not tolerate indiscipline. I will not tolerate
corruption. I have zero tolerance for corruption.
“Considering my military background, I believe
punishment must be punitive for others to see it
as a deterrent. Therefore, as an officer of the
Nigeria Customs Service, if you are caught
involved in corruption, I am not only going to
dismiss you, I will make sure I prosecute and jail
you. That is basic!”

If that's true, he needs to be drafted to head the EFCC.

Ali should be told that he has no power to jail anyone, only the court does.

This is not 1984.

How in God's green earth does this Dinosaur expect he will beat the "evil geniuses" who call themselves custom officers at their own game. They are up to date with all the tricks of the trade, while he is still stuck in 1996. The GOOD MEN of the customs service will play him like a football, to the point that when he thinks they are heading to Lafia, they will actually be taking a detour to Mecca.

He obviously does not mean he will jail them directly. I think he is saying they will not escape prosecution and jail if found guilty. It is similar to how the Police initiate stiff disciplinary action against errant officers and the army court martial's offending soldiers. The man is simply saying that he will make sure offending custom officers are prosecuted and punished unlike what obtained before. i think he makes it clear he will create an environment where custom officers will be accountable for their actions - good or bad.

and that all Customs Area Controllers, heads of units and
departments will be accountable for infraction

"Are you aware that Tonyebarcanista de 'great' is back?" Quote me anywhere.

Buhari returning Nigeria to its default settings since 1980.

Gbam. This is the kind of person we want to head all Government Agencies and Parastatals

Buhari don bring bad market for this custom guys.

He that has ears in customs, let him hear...









The era of goat eating yam is over.

The warming is okay. All those people know he's not court but he can influence their road to jail for corruption.

Let's all be positive of this fight against number one evil in Nigeria.

This old cow would soon learn the lesson of his life. You want to "jail" corrupt customs officers? Assuming you have the judicial powers to do so, how about sacking the entire workforce and jailing all of them immediately. There are no saints here sire...

Look, this Abokki who obviously does not understand the workings of the NCS would be frustrated beyond breaking point and he would end up dying at his table.

Do these moronic Nigerian dingbats understand the meaning of corruption? The appointment of the dumbass fool as DG of the Customs epitomizes core corruption.

Is it better to fold our arms and do nothing then? Why are you so pessimistic?

.. It is better to think up and implement intelligent systems to block loopholes and reduce opportunities for corruption. That is the way forward in this day and age.

What I have against Buhari and this his fellow Abokki dinosaur is that they are too stuck in their 1984 ways and too dependent on outdated threat, fire and brimstone based 'strong man' methods. This is unsustainable and cannot achieve anything meaningful.

Enough of this arrant nonsensical trend in Nigeria "I will jail you"

Who is Hameed? Is he a high court judge that jails people? Are we no longer in democracy?

I'm fed up with those illiterates in abuja who can't comprehend the meaning of separation of powers in a democratically elected government.

Arhhhhhh

In case you don't know Hameed is among Baba's right hand mens who are strictly to service without any stain. Feel free to check is profile from defense headquarters website.
