The Senate has resolved to compel the Customs comptroller General, Retired Colonel Hameed Ali, to appear before the Senate today.
This is inspite of another letter written by the Customs CG to the Senate President Bukola Saraki at a meeting which held on Tuesday evening.
In the letter from the Customs boss, he explained that the retrospective policy on import duties on vehicles has been put on hold.
The Customs CG also stated that he was unable to appear before the Senate yesterday because he was bereaved.
He also in the letter addressed the issue of his refusal to wear the Customs uniform as directed by the Senate explaining that he is seeking legal advise on the issue.
Hameed is advising the Senate to also avail itself of the legal basis on its decision to compel him to wear the uniform.
The Senate consequently resolved to compel the Customs CG in line with section 89 of the constitution to appear before it today.
