More Trouble For Ali As Auctioneers Tackle Customs, CG In Court

Published

on

As the dust raised in the face-off between the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Col Hameed Ali (rtd) and the Senate struggles to settle, the customs boss has gotten himself entangled in another controversy with the Nigeria Association of Auctioneers.

The association has dragged Ali before a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja over the plan by NCS to conduct online auction sales of seized vehicles and other condemned items.

In a suit brought by way of originating summons, the Auctioneers are praying the court to hold that by virtue of its incorporation, registration and accreditation pursuant to the relevant laws of the federation, an auction sale cannot be conducted by a committee appointed by Customs.

Joined as plaintiff in the suit is the Millennium Auctioneers Association of Nigeria.
