THE Comptroller – General of Customs, Dikko Inde Abdullahi CFR has
described as insensitive the circumstances that led to the unfortunate
conflict between soldiers and Customs officers in Katsina, Katsina
State.
The Deputy Public Relations Officer for Comptroller General of
Customs quoted the CGC as saying that in the face of current security
challenges, firing while pursuing smugglers near a Military Barrack was
tactically wrong and insensitive on the part of the Customs operatives.
According to him, the CGC recalled with satisfaction instances in the
past where the Military assisted in the interception of un-wholesome
drugs in Katsina /Kaduna Customs Area Command.
While reminding both parties that they were partners working for the
common good of the nation, he called for caution and directed the
Customs Area Controller to immediately liaise with the commanding
officer and resolve the issue amicably in the spirit of espirit de
corps. The CGC said his office relates well with Office of the National
Security Adviser, Chief Of Army Staff and all other Service Chiefs.
