A former Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Alhaji Abdullahi Dikko, has returned N1,040,000, 000 to the Federal Government.
Dikko, who served as the head of customs between August, 2009 and August, 2015, was arrested in June 2016 for allegedly diverting about N42bn.
The funds were allegedly drawn from proceeds of the seven per cent cost of collection and one per cent comprehensive import supervision scheme.
Dikko is also being investigated over a N3bn vote spent by the NCS a few days to the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
The said cash, which was allegedly spent on the directive of the Presidency, was regarded as unjustifiably used by the Customs’ management.
