The Senate has
decided to issue a warrant of arrest to compel the Comptroller-General of the
Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), retired Col. Hammed Ali, to appear before it on
Thursday.
The senate
unanimously passed the motion at their plenary on Wednesday.
Unconfirmed
reports say the presidency may have waded into the crisis between the Nigerian
Customs Service and the Senate to avoid a showdown.
The Senate had
summoned Ali to appear before it, in his full Customs regalia, but the CG said
he would not wear the uniform. He said he's speaking with lawyers to get a
clear picture on his stand.
