The Nigeria Customs Service (NSC) has set up a probe panel to investigate the alleged beating of a secondary school teacher, Mr Gbenga Ogunleye, by official of the service attached to Osun/Oyo command. The Deputy Comptroller (Administration), Bumba Muhammed, who addressed newsmen in Ibadan, on Wednesday, disclosed that the current management of the Nigeria Customs Service, under the leadership of Comptroller-General Abdullahi Dikko, had zero-tolerance for any act of indiscipline or irresponsibility.
He said the service would investigate the allegation against the officer involved, with a view to punishing him.
It will be recalled that a customs officer, last Friday, threw decorum to the winds, when he led his wife and some other colleagues to beat up a teacher for disciplining his son over an alleged offence.
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Oyo State council, has condemned what it termed “the uncivilised behaviour of a supposed father and unfortunately an officer of the Nigeria Customs Service, an organisation that is supposed to exhibit orderliness and discipline.”
In a statement by its acting secretary, Edema Olorunwa, the state NLC said men of the Customs should be more concerned about the porosity of the borders where criminal activities were taking place daily than attacking innocent citizens in their legitimate duty post.
It, therefore, called for investigation into the act, while the culprits were demanded to be brought to book to serve as a deterrent for others.
