Hameed Ali: Lawyer Drags Senate to Court over Uniform Saga


A legal practitioner has asked the Federal High Court Abuja to restrain the National Assembly from compelling the Comptroller General of Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (rtd.) to wear uniform in the performance of his duties.
Recall that the ‎Senate last week insisted that Ali should appear on Wednesday in Customs uniform.
The suit, filed yesterday, named Ali, the NCS, the NASS, the Senate and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) as first to fifth defendants.
The plaintiff, Mohammed Ibrahim is seeking for a court declaration that Ali’s appointment as Customs boss cannot be subject to the provisions of Customs and Excise Management Act (CEMA) or any other law.
A declaration that Ali who is not a commissioned officer of the NCS is not mandated by law to wear uniform and that the oversight functions of the National Assembly does not extend to compelling and mandating him to appear before it in uniform.
The plaintiff is also asking for an order of perpetual injunction restraining both the NASS and the Senate from compelling Ali to wear uniform in the performance of his duties.

Image
Boko Haram's Abubakar Shekau   Speaking on Wednesday during his nomination hearing before the senate armed services committee, Thomas Waldhauser, a US military general, said that there is currently an internal fracture within the ranks of the Boko Haram sect.   Waldhauser said the problem in the group resulted from some members splitting from Abubakar Shekau, leader of the sect, over his failure to adhere to guidance from the Iraq and Syria-based Islamic State.   The nominee to lead US military’s Africa Command, disclosed, said the internal division was illustrative of limits of Islamic State’s influence over Boko Haram so far, in spite of the West African group’s pledge of allegiance to it last year.   “Several months ago, about half of Boko Haram broke off to a separate group because they were not happy with the amount of buy-in, if you will, from Boko Haram into the ISIL brand,"  he said.   He added that Shekau had not fallen into ...
