Following the reorganization of the the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), the Customs has ordered all its serving officers to declare their assets.
The directive came just as the service retired 29 senior officers in addition to five others whose voluntary retirements were announced on Thursday.
Investigations revealed that all officers from the first bar were directed to collect their asset declaration forms from their zonal offices with a view to determining the property they have illegally acquired.
Sources close to the service revealed yesterday that any officer who made a false financial declaration would be detected through their bank verification numbers (BVNs) recently introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
More heads, a source said, will roll after the completion of the exercise.
