Five senior Customs chiefs yesterday threw in the towel. They voluntarily opted to retire according to highly placed sources in the organisation.
The Deputy Comptrollers General John Atte (Finance, Administration and Technical Service) ; Adewuyi Akinade (Tariff and Trade) ; Tahir Musa (Enforcement, Investigation and Inspection; Chukwuma Nwosu and Mera IM, reportedly wrote a joint letter of voluntary disengagement through the Comptroller General of Customs Col. Hameeed Ali, to The Chairman, Nigerian Customs Service Board.
The Service had not responded to the request as at last night, it was learnt. Spokesman of the Customs, Mr Wale Adeniyi, said he was not aware of the development.
He said: “I left the office at about 4pm and I’m not aware of such development.”
