The Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, has begun investigation of one of its Officers, recorded on a viral video, assaulting one Samson Nwachukwu, a Special Assistant to Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, at about 5.00 pm on Saturday May 7, along the Benin - Agbor expressway.
According to the NCS, the Officer and other members of that team from FOU Zone 'C', have since been withdrawn from patrol duties and are currently under administrative investigation at the NCS Zonal Headquarters Zone 'C' Port Harcourt in Rivers State.
The National Public Relations Officer of NCS, DC Timi Bomodi, in a statement today, Monday May 9, explained: “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. Where they fail to carry out their brief as assigned, appropriate sanctions are applied to enforce discipline.
“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.
“We ask that all law-abiding persons go about their activities without fear of intimidation or harassment as we work assiduously to bring closure to this unwholesome incident”.
