* officer undergoes medical test for promoting self to CG

Nura Dahiru, an assistant superintendent of customs, on Monday, promoted himself to the rank of deputy comptroller-general of Customs (DCG), claiming he was directed by President Muhammadu Buhari to assume the office of comptroller-general (CG).

Sources at the Customs headquarters in Abuja told our correspondent that Dahiru walked in Monday morning wearing the new rank, and went into the office of Hameed Ali, the comptroller general.

“As he came in, officers were saluting him because he was wearing that rank,” one of the sources said.

“Sometime in May, he had posted on Facebook that he had been directed by the president to take over from Hameed Ali, and today when we saw him in the new rank, we thought, indeed, he has been promoted and so directed by the president.

He went inside the CG’s office, sat in the waiting room, expecting the CG to handover to him.”

The Spokesman for the Nigeria Customs Service, Joseph Attah, said in a terse message that the officer was already at the customs medical centre to determine his frame of mind.

He said, “What happened was that an assistant superintendent of customs came to the office wearing the rank of a deputy comptroller-general.

“From questions and answers that followed, it was obvious that he was not in the right frame of mind, so a doctor was immediately invited. He is presently undergoing a medical examination at the medical unit of the service.”

Dahiru had on Monday entered into the office of the customs boss informing him that Buhari had appointed him as the new CG.
