Nigeria Customs Boss Vows To Jail Corrupt Officers

The Comptroller-General, Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Hameed Ali, on Wednesday warned that he would either discipline, dismiss or jail any officer found guilty of corrupt practices.

Mr. Ali gave the warning while addressing officers and men of the NCS in Calabar, capital of Cross River.

He said there was need for them to be of good conduct and show professionalism while carrying out their duties.

The C-G said his administration would have zero tolerance for corruption, hence the need for officers and men of the service to shun all forms of corruption.

“I want to make it clear to all of you that I have zero tolerance for indiscipline and corruption. I will dismiss and jail any officer found guilty of such.

“Indiscipline will no longer have a place in the NCS. We must have officers and men with impeccable character to promote the image of the service.

“Anyone caught falsifying any documents or compromising with fake imported goods will also be dismissed and jailed.

“The NCS has resolved that anyone caught in an unprofessional conduct, no matter the circumstances, will be dismissed and jailed for the offence,’’ the comptroller-general said.
