A member of the Association of the Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), who did not want to be named, told The Nation about death of the former NCS chief.
But the Katsina State government had not commented on the demise of the ex-CG last night.
NCS Public Relations Officer, Mr. Joseph Attah, confirmed Dikko’s death last night.
In a statement in Abuja, Attah said: “The family of the former Comptroller General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko Inde just announced his passing away today.”
His funeral prayers (Janazza) will take place today after Jum’ah prayers at the National Mosque in Abuja.
