He had also promised to get to the root of the matter.

In an alert issued on Tuesday, the Deputy Comptroller General, Enforcement, Investigation and Inspection, Mr Dan Ugo, urged anyone with useful information that could lead to the arrest of the wanted officers to provide them.

He had also requested that the officers be arrested wherever they are seen and taken to the nearest customs formation.
