The Comptroller General of Nigeria Customs Service, Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (rtd.) has denied the fraud allegation against him.

Denying the allegation, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Nigeria Customs Service, Joseph Attah said that; “The allegation against the Comptroller General, Col. Hameed Ali is baseless. The allegations are bogus and compound in nature, lacking necessary flesh that should add any meaningful value.”

“My worry is about how long it should take for some of NCS stakeholders to accept that things have changed with the current Comptroller General of Customs Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali rtd.”

“After more than three years, such allegations bordering on personal interest on the part of the CGC clearly shows lack of proper understanding of a man whose unquestionable Intergrity preceded his present position as the CGC.”

“Allegations of corruption appears to be the cheapest anchor point where there is hidden intention to smear anybody or organisation in Nigeria. It is therefore not difficult to know that this one coming from a section of the online maritime publication is not different.”

“There is no doubt that NCS as presently constituted generates unprecedented revenue for the FG and more than ever on the offensive against Smugglers with spectacular seizures of arms and ammunition, dangerous drugs and other items that can compromise national economy and security.”
