ALLEGED THREAT TO THE LIFE OF CUSTOMS’ BOSS:ANOTHER CALL TO INVESTIGATE HIS FORGED CERTIFICATES

By Festus Keyamo                 Newsdiaryonline Friday, April 23, 2010.

 

 

The Acting President,Federal Republic of Nigeria,State House,

Abuja.

 Your Excellency,

The widely-reported petition by the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service, Alhaji Abdullahi Inde Dikko, to your office, alleging threat to his life, is nothing but a smokescreen to divert attention from the real issue at stake, which is whether indeed the following certificates which he parades as his own, and upon which he gained promotions to the present position he occupies are, indeed, genuine: WAEC Certificate No. NGSG 37836 of 1980 purportedly issued by WAEC in the name of Government College, Kaduna and Certificates No. 10912 and 10993 purportedly issued to him by the Nigerian Institute of Management. Please find attached again copies of the forged certificates.

 

The alleged threat to his life is, therefore, laughable considering the armada of security around him as the Customs boss. It is a miscalculated attempt to play the underdog in this sordid and shameful affair. It is also a ploy to set the stage for an attempt on the life of the poor boy who helped to forge his certificates and myself.

 

Hopefully the attempt will fail. These allegations have been rife even before he became Comptroller-General of Customs. I am not in the Customs and will never be. Therefore, I am not interested in his position and I do not have the capacity to threaten his life.

 

This is also an appeal to your office, the Senate President, the National Security Adviser, the Inspector-General of Police, the Director of SSS, the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Minister of Finance to stop playing the ostrich and get a simple confirmation from the above institutions as to the authenticity of the certificates and take appropriate action. I also urge your Excellency to also investigate the alleged threat to his life, no matter how laughable it appears.

 

I repeat for the umpteenth time that THERE IS NO COURT ORDER WHATSOEVER STOPPING ANY INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. INDEED, THERE IS A COURT ORDER DIRECTING SUCH INVESTIGATION WHICH HAS BEEN DISOBEYED TILL TODAY.

 

Your Excellency, the silence of your office and the law enforcement agents on this issue is almost becoming a national and international embarrassment.

 

Thank you.

 

Yours most trusted,

 

 

FESTUS KEYAMO, ESQ.
