Customs CG said the report on age fabrication is false

The claim that Mr. Bashir Adeniyi, the Comptroller-General of Customs, fabricated his age in order to continue working for the government was refuted by him on Friday.

Adeniyi said in a statement that the study was untrustworthy and best characterized as garbage.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Adeniyi fabricated his age and claimed to have served for 43 years, according to an online news source.

“Common sense dictates that a fitting picture should illustrate such a reported scandal; instead, what appeared to be a plain paper with indiscernible, blurry writings was used to attempt to convince readers.

“The first two paragraphs of the story claimed that official documents were sighted to prove Adeniyi’s culpability,” he said.

The media did not offer screenshots of the official documents it claimed to have gotten, according to the comptroller-general.

He continued by saying that in two lines of the exclusive piece, the medium contradicted itself.

Adeniyi claims that the report stated in one paragraph that he was able to continue serving after the age of sixty by fabricating his age.

“In another, it claimed the documents also revealed that Adeniyi altered his years of service to remain in customs service,” he said.

He continued by saying that the study contained no concrete proof to support the assertions.

“Neither the document showing age alteration nor the one showing service period extension by the customs boss was attached to the story,” he said.

He declared that although the report might be intended to divert him, he would not waver in his resolve to effectively head the Nigeria Customs Service.
