Former Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Alhaji Abdullahi Dikko, has returned N1,040,000, 000 to the Federal Government.
Reports say the funds were drawn from proceeds of the seven per cent cost of collection and one per cent comprehensive import supervision scheme.
Dikko had served for over 20 years in the service. He was arrested by the EFCC in June this year but was released because of his poor health.
Some houses owned by the ex customs boss had been seized by the anti graft agency. Since then, he has been returning funds to the government.
“So far, Dikko has returned over N1bn," someone familiar with the matter said. "He returned N1bn and then N4m. He is still expected to return more money.”
