mr president kindly sack the comptroller of customs for his failure to detect the containers that contained deadly weapons.
His inabilitity to detect these containers is an indication of an unserious officer heading such a strategic agency like Customs.
it also show the level of decadence that has permitted the agency and the corruption level of the officials of the agency.
of the federal Republic of nigeria.
until have harboured this containers of armed or deadly things for this long . He canot say that he is not aware of the content of the containers . sacking him would show your seriousness.
