The
Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs, Hameed Ali has admonished
customs officers to desist from all form of corrupt practices as anyone
of them caught will be jailed for 10 years as stipulated by law. Ali
gave the warning while speaking with some officers during his visit to
Sokoto/Zamfara/Kebbi Area Command today.
“The
minimum jail term for corrupt officers is five years, but I will make
sure that any officer found to be corrupt gets the maximum jail term of
10 years. This is to serve as a deterrent to any officer who finds
himself in the Customs to make money and not to earn money. I am not
saying that there are no good, incorruptible officers in the service,
but there are few bad eggs who are giving the service a bad name,” he
said.
