”Return On Wednesday Dressed In Uniform ”, Senate Tells Hammed Ali
The Senate has asked the Comptroller General
of Nigeria Customs Service, Col. Hameed Ali
(retd.), to come back on Wednesday in
uniform.
The lawmakers said as the chief executive of
the security outfit, Ali should lead by
example. The Customs boss had appeared
before the Senate on Thursday, after he failed
to show up on Wednesday as initially
scheduled. He also came in mufti despite the
insistence of the lawmakers that he should
appear before it in uniform.
His failure to show up had angered the
lawmakers, and they compelled him to appear
today (Thursday). When asked by Deputy
Senate President Ike Ekweremadu why he
failed to appear before the lawmakers in
uniform as requested, Ali said the Senate did
not state in its last letter to him that he
should appear in uniform.
Ekweremadu, however, said the last letter only
served as a reminder of the first letter to him,
in which he was asked to come in uniform.
