Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Hameed Ali on Tuesday was at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Tribune reports.
It was however reported that President Muhammadu Buhari had already left the office before Ali was sighted.
When asked the purpose of his visit by State House correspondents, 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.”
