COMPTROLLER General of Customs, Hammed Ali, was at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Tuesday but it was not clear what his mission was as President Muhammadu Buhari had already left the office before he was sighted.
State House correspondents met him to enquiry about his Wednesday’s scheduled appearance at the Senate but he declined to speak on it citing court proceeding.
He said: “The case is in court already. Somebody has sued us. It is subjudice. I have gotten my writ of summons and they said status quo should remain ante which means nothing you move until the court makes a pronouncement.
“A private individual sued all of us; he wants an interpretation of the section that is in contention. I don’t want to talk so that I am not held in contempt of court.”
