Mourn Deceased Officers in Kebbi Command

The acting Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, has reiterated the unwavering commitment of the Service to protect Nigeria’s land borders following attack on Customs officers  by gunmen suspected to be smugglers in Kebbi.
Lamenting the death of two officers of the service, Inspector of Customs, Alhaji Kabiru Shehu and Customs Assistant Abdullahi Muhammad, who were killed by gunmen  last week, the CGC in a statement signed by National Public Relations Officer, NPRO, of the NCS, Chief Superintendent of Customs, Abdullahi Maiwada, Bashir Adewale expressed his grief on the demise of the officers who were on national duty.

“It is with profound sorrow and heavy heart the Acting Comptroller General of Customs Bashir Adewale Adeniyi MFR, on behalf of the entire officers and men of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), extends deepest condolences to families of Inspector of Customs Alhaji Kabiru Shehu and Customs Assistant Abdullahi Muhammad, NCS Kebbi Area Command, and the Government of Kebbi state, over the tragic loss of dedicated and valiant individuals in active service to their fatherland” the Ag CGC said

The NPRO disclosed that the two officers met their untimely demise on August 24, 2023, while carrying out a stop-and-search operation along Bunza – Dakingari – Koko Road.

Speaking on the perilous challenges that Customs officers encounter daily while safeguarding the nation’s borders, the CGC assured that the NCS, under his leadership, stands firmly united with the families of deceased officers during this period of profound grief.

His words “In this time of sorrow, we recognize the void their departure has left, both personally and within our Customs community. May the memory of their bravery, sacrifice, and service offer solace to their loved ones and motivate us all to uphold the principles they epitomized,”

While commending the swift response by the Kebbi Area Command in launching a comprehensive investigation to apprehend the perpetrators and assured justice for the fallen officers, the CGC said the Service is in complete support and will collaborate with government agencies and citizens in every step taken to bring all those involved in the heinous crime to justice.

The Acting CGC expressed gratitude for the solidarity and cooperation extended to the NCS by the Government and the good people of Kebbi state, led by the esteemed Executive Governor, His Excellency Mohammed Nasir Idris.

He highlighted the significance of community engagement in the collective pursuit of safety and security, encouraging all citizens to actively contribute to these shared endeavors.
