Customs Boss, Hameed Ali & Saraki Meet Behind Closed Door

Customs Boss, Hameed Ali &
Saraki Meet Behind Closed Door

THE Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola
Saraki, on Tuesday evening held a closed
session with the Comptroller-General of the
Nigeria Customs service, retired Colonel
Hameed Ali.
This is coming on a day Ali had written the
Senate to say he would not honor the
invitation extended to him to appear at plenary
in uniform.
The senators however insisted he must appear
in uniform on Wednesday at the Senate
plenary.
In what appeared a dramatic turn around, Ali
sought an audience with Saraki for about 50
minutes.
The meeting came hours after Saraki and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt.
Hon. Yakubu Dogara, met with President
Muhammadu Buhari at the Aso Rock
Presidential Villa.
Although, the details of the closed session
between Saraki and Ali were still sketchy as at
press time, but sources said it was to get a
soft landing for the Customs CG, who some
senators have vowed must go if he failed to
heed the summons and appear in uniform.
