Breaking: Customs Boss, Hameed Ali Disobey Senate Arrives National Assembly In Mufti
Hameed Ali has refused to wear Nigerian Customs uniform
Comptroller general of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), Hameed Ali, has arrived at the national assembly complex, but not in customs uniform as requested by the senate.
Earlier, the senate had requested that Ali appears before it, in customs uniform, which Ali had rejected on two occasions, saying he was not appointed to wear uniform.
On Thursday however, Ali finally appeared before the senate in white native attire and a white cap.
On arrival, Ali met with the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.
He was accompanied to Ekweremadu’s office by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang.
After about five minutes in Ekweremadu’s office, he left for Enang’s office to allow the DSP enter the Red Chamber.
Ekweremadu is presiding at the plenary, which was called to order just before press time.
However, the Senate has called for a closed door session.
