All five Deputy Comptroller-Generals of the Nigerian Customs Service have Resigned

                                                                Colonel Hameed Ali

All 5 Deputy Comptroller-Generals of the Nigerian Customs service have resigned voluntarily from service. They jointly and unanimously wrote a resignation letter to that effect dated 29th October.

President Buhari on 28th October, appointed a retired colonel, Hameed Ali as the comptroller of Nigerian Customs services. Ali's appointment was met with harsh criticism, especially from the Igbo  activists who accused the president of ignoring the next in command, an Igbo to Appoint a northerner who did not serve in the Customs service before. There is a case in Federal High court, Umuahia  filed against president Buhari  by I. Okonkwo, an Enugu activist challenging the appointment of Ali.

Well, it appears the five senior officers resigned in protest.
