The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has taken swift action against two of its officers involved in the maltreatment of individuals in a viral video. Superintendent of Customs TA Inemugha and Assistant Superintendent of Customs II GO Aboribo have been identified, arrested, and handed over to the Customs Police Unit for further investigation.
According to the Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi MFR, the behavior of these officers does not reflect the professional practice of the service, which is committed to holding its officers to the highest standard of integrity and professionalism.
The NCS has condemned the unethical conduct of these officers and directed that they be taken to the NCS Headquarters for a full-scale investigation and decisive disciplinary measures. The complainants have also been requested to make themselves available to assist in the ongoing investigation.
The Service remains committed to ensuring transparency in all its operational mandates and will not condone any form of misconduct within its ranks. The NCS will continue to work for the overall interest of the Nigerian Public.
