The Comptroller General of Customs, Hameed Ali will not appear before the Senate Tuesday, as expected, based on a lawsuit filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja, yesterday.
The writ of Summons in the Suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/207/2017, filed before the court yesterday by a lawyer, Mr. Mohammed Ibrahim, has asked that the status quo be maintained, pending the determination of the matter before it.
The plaintiff is contending, among others, that it was not within the powers of the Senate to dictate to Ali, who was appointed by the President pursuant to the President’s powers under sections 5 and 171 of the Constitution, how to conduct himself.

ReplyDeleteYou lack knowledge.You think its a child play?
DeleteAre you thinking with your anus? mumubulus
DeleteCol Hameed Ali (rtd), you have the full support of all patriotic non corrupt Nigerians against a lecherous, kleptorous Nigerian Senate. March on!
ReplyDeleteIts so unfortunate,how can we fold our hands and watch democracy dye. march on.... Its a shame on people like you. Do you know the meaning of Democracy,Do you know what the Nigerian Custom boss did by bringing an opaque policy? Saying Nigerians that has been driving their cars for decades now should pay custom duty.In your opinion,,,,does this make any sense???? How can a buyer of a car pay duty for a car when he or she is not the importer of the car....This are part of the useless idea killing this APC worst administration!!!!
DeleteYou are also a military man,so u have a zombi mind set. @Zombi.com Zombi ooo Zombi
DeleteI dont understand this our country's leadership and where we are heading to. What is the issue on wearing Uniform. The senate of the federal republic of Nigeria,should now think and pass a bill to checkmate such kind and other issues relating to confirmation,invitation,investigation and others. If the US senate or the UK house of commons or house of lords request an invitation you don't dare.Its crazy how this APC party members and administration are tuning this country upside down,and some people are clapping,this is not movie,Nigeria democracy is going down.
ReplyDeleteReally true
DeleteNigerian house of assembly are majorly made up of corrupt people who never allow Nigeria to work. They work with speed of light on anything that concerns them but too lackadaisical if the issue is about Nigerians they claim to be representing.
ReplyDeleteWhy must they hammer on CG wearing uniform when they know more than anyone that no law compels him to do so.
This man honoured their invitation but they refused to ask him questions over this serious issue.
They simply showed Nigerians that their personal vendetta on Ali is their concern as events are now unfolding concerning custom duties on some bulletproof cars.
The customs is wrong on this very policy at hand but the Senate had trivialize it.
Let's look for another way maybe judiciary to correct this anti-people policy of the customs because the Senate had failed us.
