The Nigeria Customs Service (NIS) has vowed to sanctioned officer who assaulted the Special Assistant, Special Duties to Delta State Governor Mr. Samson Nwachukwu.
Nwachukwu, who is also the current Director Intervention/Investigation of Behind Bars Human Rights Foundation, was assaulted on Saturday the 7th of May 2022 at about 5.00 pm by custom officer and Army officer along Benin/Agbor Expressway.
In a statement National Public Relations Officer of Nigeria Customs Service, DC Timi Bomodi, said the officer and other members of the team from FOU Zone ‘C’ have since been withdrawn from patrol duties and are currently under administrative investigation at the NCS Zonal Headquarters Zone ‘C’ Port Harcourt.
He said the officers of the Nigeria Customs Service have been trained to carry out their duties with dignity and respect, and are expected to display decorum in all their conduct at all times. Bomodi said where they fail to carry out their brief as assigned, appropriate sanctions are applied to enforce discipline.
He said the NCS would like to reassure the general public of its commitment to the welfare and safety of all citizens and frowns seriously at any act by its personnel capable of misrepresenting its corporate image.
Bomodi asked all law-abiding persons go about their activities without fear of intimidation or harassment as they work assiduously to bring closure to this unwholesome incident.
