In a statement by the National Public Relations Officer, Abdullahi Maiwada, the officer was allegedly soliciting for N5000 bribe before she could facilitate the abroad-bound passenger.

Maiwada, however, disclosed that the service would ensure full accountability and ensure that the outcome of the investigation is communicated to the public.

“The Nigeria Customs Service is diligently investigating an incident at Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, where an officer was observed soliciting N5000 bribe from a passenger. This behaviour has rightfully raised public concern, and we are committed to ensuring full accountability.

“Preliminary investigation revealed that the incident transpired at New Terminal, within the departure hall of Murtala Mohammed International Airport Lagos, and was captured on video by the involved passenger. The recording reveals an inappropriate request for N5000 in exchange for expeditious processing of customs procedures.

“We wish to confirm that the Officer implicated is indeed a member of the Nigeria Customs Service, properly assigned to the Murtala Mohammed International Airport Area Command.

Maiwada, further urged Nigerians to report any act of misconduct and corruption among its officers, saying such a report is crucial in upholding the integrity of the service.

He also warned that officers adhere to the highest ethical standards of the service.

“Such behaviour is entirely inconsistent with the core values of our service, and we are resolute in maintaining a transparent and accountable Customs operation.

“We encourage passengers and the public to report any instances of misconduct or corruption promptly. These reports are crucial in upholding the integrity of our service and ensuring that officers adhere to the highest ethical standards. The NCS is unwavering in its commitment to fostering a culture of transparency and accountability. The outcome of the investigation will be communicated to the public at the earliest opportunity,” Maiwada stated.
