Youre not serious in the trial of ex customs boss dikko court tells icpc

It seems like you're referring to a recent news article!

According to reports, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has been told by a Federal High Court in Abuja that it's not taking the trial of a former Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Abdullahi Dikko, seriously.

The court made this remark after the ICPC failed to produce key witnesses in court, leading to the adjournment of the trial. The court expressed disappointment that the ICPC was not taking the trial seriously, given the gravity of the allegations against Dikko.

Dikko is facing trial for alleged corruption and abuse of office during his tenure as Customs boss. The ICPC had accused him of embezzling N1.1 billion meant for the payment of customs officials' salaries and allowances.

The court's remark has sparked concerns about the effectiveness of the ICPC in prosecuting high-profile corruption cases in Nigeria.
