The immediate past Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Abdullahi Dikko, is dead.
An indigene of Katsina State, Alhaji Dikko who led the NCS from 2009 to 2015, died after a prolonged illness.
The former customs boss had been facing a probe by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as well as the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission.
His house said to be worth N1.1bn as well as cars worth hundreds of millions of naira were seized by the EFCC under the leadership of embattled Chairman, Ibrahim Magu who is still under investigation for various criminal offences
However, his case failed to proceed due to his failing health.
In December 2020, the ICPC and its Chairman, Prof Bolaji Owasanoye, were restrained from arresting and prosecuting Dikko.
