Commenting on
the arrest, the Comptroller General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko said
“For long we have been working with Ali Kwara, who informed me that they
suspected that someone among my officers is aiding armed robbers with
weapons. I told him he should fish him out and arrest him, whoever he
is. Eventually, they arrested a junior officer, one Shehu, who is an
orderly to a comptroller, Jack, from Plateau State.

When Ali Kwara
arrested Shehu, he (Shehu) told him that Jack is his boss and they have
been doing this together since 2002, and they even supplied weapons to
Jos during crises. I thank God that out of 20,000 people I am heading
only two people were accused of such crime.”
