Why EFCC Is After Former Customs Boss, Dikko by lolaxavier(m): 1:10pm On Jan 12, 2016

Indications have emerged that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is after the immediate past Comptroller-General, CG, of the Nigerian Customs Service, NCS, Abdullahi Dikko because of the alleged “messy and stinking Customs” he bequeathed his successor, Col. Hameed Ali (rtd).

This is as the anti-graft agency is considering the use of extradition to bring home the former Customs CG from Dubai, where he is suspected to be living since his retirement, if he failed to honour its invitation this week, Leadership reports.

It would be recalled that operatives of the commission stormed Dikko’s Abuja house when he was away to Dubai and turned the house ‘upside down’ searching for some incriminating documents over the ongoing investigation of some petitions brought against him while in office.

The immediate past Customs CG had voluntarily retired from service shortly after President Muhammadu Buhari was sworn into office. This was despite the fact that Dikko’s second- term had just begun.

A source in the commission told the newspaper that the failure of Dikko to honour the EFCC invitation may mean the use of extradition from the United Arab Emirates, adding that, “It is advisable for Dikko to return home this week to answer some questions raised by the petitioners who accused him of sharp practices while in office the better otherwise, the commission will has no choice but to use the extradition to bring him to justice wherever he may be.”

The source continued that, “Dikko has some questions to answer over what Col Ali met on ground, the place stinks, to say the least and if the man has travelled out of the country, we may ask him to come back if he has nothing to hide else we may be forced to use other ways to bring him back.”

This is one organization, that even the child in the womb knows its corrupt.
And then he goes and buys a house in Dubai.
Does the civil service rule allows its workers to operate foreign accounts?
I don't think so.
Proving the case against Dikko in court should be easy.
From the airports to the borders, its corruption galore.

Gullible Nigerians busy buying properties and developing other country at the expense of fellow Nigerians, who barely could afford one meal a day. What I can't understand is that some youth whom has been deprived of good living will take to street to protest in favour of someone who never care about their living.

Please, extradite him if need be.
