"No! I was not appointed Comptroller General of Customs to wear uniform. Does Uniform work or the person behind the uniform?If we suspect that smuggled items are taken into your house, we have the right to cordone thjat house and go in to search. Am I doing my job or not? I think that should be what should worry the National Assembly" he said
Members of the senate unanimously agreed to order Ali to appear before the house to explain the controversial new policy of Customs Service asking car owners to report to their offices to verify if the import duties for their cars were fully paid for. According to Customs, defaulters would have their cars impounded. The senate is also angry with Customs officials over the recent trend of storming shops and storage houses to seize items believed to have been smuggled into the country.
Ali has never worn the Customs uniform since assuming office in 2015.

Now that Hammed Ali of @CustomsNG has answered all the questions, should the @NGRSenate still invite him? pic.twitter.com/kxWNHiSyHI— TVC (@TVCconnect) March 10, 2017
this is the most stupid statement i have heard a grown man say. so do the police do the work or the uniform. so all the people working in custom and wearing the uniform are fools
ReplyDeleteThe senators taking this matter personally are just thieves in my eyes
ReplyDeleteDino and the other man
This is not a sub
You are rogues
May the heavens punish you
I BLAME PMB
ReplyDeleteAs a custom officer you need to always put on your uniform while at work, have you seen a army officer without uniform? Well the man has retired before Buhari brought him back so I guess old age is another thing he is suffering from just like our president. Buhari said youth is behind him and military experience is behind him. We need those who are physically and fit and mentally sound to paddle the canoe of this country. God help us all

ReplyDeleteThe Nigerian Senate is a comic house.They alone constitute the problem of Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteDs Ali get he own 4body.
ReplyDeleteAli you must wear your uniform and come on the 15th. We are waiting for you in the upper chamber. Don't come with your uniform and see if you will still be the CGC.
ReplyDeleteI hope senate can deal with him and kick him out of office. If you suspect a house with contraband,you must get a search warrant for you to be able to enter that house.
ReplyDeleteNigeria Senate don't know there job wat is there business with d man putting on uniform, don't there know u can't put on uniform two times, fools

He's simply doing his job and stepping on these corrupt leaders toes. So they want to get rid of him.
ReplyDeleteReligious bigotry
ReplyDeleteOga , wear the uniform. It is the demand of the profession. Why didn't you object to wearing uniform when you were in the army ? Like Buhari , like you....
ReplyDeleteOnce u have the president 's backup, u are in charge and can do as u please. Nigerians, welcome to CHANGE.
ReplyDeletethis ali's reply is so haramic in nature , his appointment should be terminated.
ReplyDeleteSenate should educate him that Neither was he appointed to make senseless policies
ReplyDeleteHow did we get here?and diz aboki na custom boss...imagine! Dressin as if he is in d mosque....we need real transformation in diz country.wen he joined custom,he pledged 2 wear his uniform nd do his job dutifully...now power don dey his hand..e dey misbehave
ReplyDeleteMumu
ReplyDeleteWho would help me sack this man Abeg? Those are the confused people Buhari choosed to work for Nigeria. He's not humble, very arrogant.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you expect from him other than arrogance and impunity? It is in their blood and marrow. I bet you he will not respond to that invitation.
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when an idiot like Buhari appoints his fellow idiot that is not a customs officer as comptroller general. It's a pity
ReplyDeleteTrue talk!
DeleteOga boss hameed but u are not above the law to wear uniform
ReplyDeleteHameed Ali remains the best thing to have happened to the Nigerian customs in recent years.We should celebrate him instead of bashing him for not wearing a damn uniform.
ReplyDeleteThe man get mind o..
ReplyDeleteHAHA NDI NIGERIA NDI DRAMA!!!
ReplyDelete-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Mtchewww, the senate should stop being petty.
ReplyDeleteEnter your comment...y will he wear uniform twice
ReplyDeleteThe senate are set of rogues making life difficult for common man... Pls be aware that we should start making thing on our own why imported goods.. they are all armed robbers basic and the is trying to sanitize the system yet they are complaining about uniform .....Ali we are behind u ...No to uniform
ReplyDeleteWhat's is wrong with the uniform
ReplyDeletethis man is a junkie !!!!! what does he know he is saying ?????
ReplyDeletewe arre sick and tired of this sick old men !!!! they know nothing modern !!! revolution !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rubbish,it's just like the IG saying he won't wear police uniform
ReplyDeleteThis man is just too arrogant.....He better receive sense because this his vehicle custom clearance paper must not fly.......mofo
ReplyDeleteHe should wear the uniform who the hail does he think he is
ReplyDeleteWe know them . By their fruit. Curruption fighting back
ReplyDeletePls criticise constrictively,number 1 d man in question is retired uniform man so I see no reason why the re asked him to put on uniform. And pls let's get dis right, the constitution allows d the president to choose who ever he pleases with to head the custom service. And dis man is doing a perfect job. Even if at all he made a policy dat doesn't suit dem let dem invite him and not castigate himm
ReplyDeleteGen. Haladu Hananiya wore road safety uniform sha
ReplyDeleteto me the issue sef no be even the uniform matter.
ReplyDeleteif the customs are doing their work very well, how will smugglers succeed? how can the customs now turn around and ask us to verify if duty was paid on our cars, that we have been driving for years? or going to raid shops that sell "smuggled items? in other words, the ordinary people are being made to pay for the inadequacy/negligence of the customs. he should rather employ more hands, make sure the scanning machines at all the ports and land borders work, and general make customs more efficient. what is the point of this witch hunt mission he is going on? imagine if you innocently bought a car from a car dealer 5 years ago, and managing yourself with that car, then customs will come from nowhere and come and seize the car!!!!!! was the car invisible when it was driven out of the Port or the border? why didnt they impound it then?
me, i support the Senate on this.
Let's not allow d senate or politicians fool us. U don't expect someone who didn't walk up d ladder of an organization to wear its uniform. R we saying dat anyone appointed to head any paramilitary even wen he or she isn't their staff should wear d uniform
ReplyDeleteAs a retired Army Officer this appointed Comptroller General of Customs should know that protocol requires him to be properly dressed to reflect his status when appearing before his superiors. The Senate is part of the Third Arm of the Government of Nigeria that appropriates funds for the Customs. A mere appointee of the Executive Arm of Government must not bandy words with his masters in the Senate. He must be properly dressed in his uniform to appear before them because he who pays the piper dictates the tune.
ReplyDeleteAll these grand standing will do him no good. I have never been a supporter of this Senate but I stand with them on this. It beats logic upside down. Who cleared the cars? How does it get registered ? Let there be end to all these actors and actresses. What is the big deal about wearing uniform as a retired Lieutenant Col wearing Comptroller General Custom uniform which is more prestigious ?
