this man own self, he dun old for face but he hand still fresh like river fish.

idiaaat, u can't wear the uniform, but u can occupy the office, to further strategize how you can extort a whole country.

NASS pls bundle this man and send him to exile.

To humble the man,I support his arrest..he behaves as if we are still in military era..Very unbecoming

Shit getting serious.

You should learn about SEPARATION of powers in a democracy.
The senate is a law making body not an executive arm of government.
It cannot order the arrest of anyone.
There are other ways to deal with a recalcitrant agent of the executive.
If the SINators are serious they should use those other ways to LEGITIMATELY address their grievances with Col. Ali.
We should stop being easily excitable mumus.

Please stop misinforming the public and retract your statement.

The senate has oversight functions empowered by the constitution to issue warrant when its summons are disobeyed!

Also separation of powers doesn't prevent the executive from making laws and bylaws through its ministries, does it?

Instead of applauding the awakening senate for standing up to the tyrannical Customs boss, you're ignorantly accusing them falsely.

Shame!

This Hameed Ali has disrespected Nigerians by failing to honour the Senate invitation. The President should do the needful if he is really incharge of affairs in the country and not the cabal.

Citizens arrest nko? We fit?

is he above the law.?

IPOD located . jumping to conclusion out of ignorance

I knew it would get to this. No one is above the law. If he feels he is, he should simply resign.

What is happening to this man is not ordinary, he has stepped on iyalojas and market woman's toes . They are fighting him with edi.

you are quite ignorant. Read all about the powers of the national assembly in the constitution.Ignorance is no more an excuse. I don't think you know what the doctrine of separation of power is all about.

Hameed Ali: Customs boss dares Senate, says 'no' to Wednesday appearance

idris4r83:
I love this guy military nature. To he'll with the senate as far as he is doing his work rightly. If Senate no like am make buhari substitute am with ibrahim magu. Hamid ali will function better as efcc boss.

you must be at fanatical muslin... cos you guys don't know your left from your right

I am compelled to comment on this! However great this guy is performing in the Customs service, we are still in a democracy! The person who nominated him, emerged through a democratic process and is under oath to defend the constitution. Irrespective of whatever politics involved or any suspicions we may have, the Senate can request an explanation from him. I am not holding brief for the Senate but I think political nominees or appointees should realize their limits and be more guarded. We are not in a Banana republic! Even if all Senators are thieves' which I doubt, he is an appointee. The National Assembly can amend the Customs Act for instance, to disallow appointment of a non-career Customs officer as CG. If that happens, will he insist on holding office? It's like someone who loses election saying, I am convinced that I am the best and so I must continue in office? We can't descend to that level. Impunity is not just corruption. The first letter from the Customs said he cant come because he was to have a management meeting? Haba my people! The next one said he is bereaved? No na. I fully support that everyone should pay duties but my brothers and sisters, I doubt if Customs have a very credible/accurate database to retroactively check all vehicles imported over the years. Before you know it, corruption will surround verififcation. I think the issue needs more stakeholder engagement, planning and sensitization if not you will see chaos on our roads including open clashes with customs officials. It may be well intended but the implementation modality and capability needs to be interrogated!

So of all the 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria, you just concluded that I am an Igbo because I stated my opinion which may be contradictory with yours?

I weep for the youths of my generation...

For the first time, we have a Senate. Not like the pdp days when Ghana must go bags was the determining factor.

i hope the igp will comply especially now that buhari is around...

if you have a strong backup, you dont need to answer to no sub opena

APC at the centre brings more confusion and avoidable issue.

But you know a subpoena is a subpoena and it's coming from one of the branches of Government.

Just look at the kind of hediot Buhari appointed as CG customs. Nigeria is fvcking lawless country

One of the reasons why we are not making progress ......egoistic and myopic leaders.

The bloody civilian thinks he is immune to the supervisory powers of the Senate. Just wait for that warrant to be issued first, he'll realize he's no longer in the army but an ordinary bloody civilian.

Wallahi I will be happy if Ali will be brought to head EFCC, atleast no 1 will disturb him with issue of Uniform and I trust him to discharge his duties effectively

Dejijossy:


Which of the law has he broken?

He was summoned by the Nigerian Senate and failed to show up, citing clumsy reasons for that. The Senate is one of the most prestigious arms of government and should be respected at the least by his presence.

Secondly, he has refused to put on the uniform of the government agency he was appointed to lead. If the leader cannot obey simple protocol and wear his uniform like all his predecessors, I wonder why then we have a democracy!

There is no need to support this act of rascality and disregard for the Nigerian institution!
