"One more appointee of President Muhammadu Buhari has drawn the attention of the media – Colonel Hamid Ali (rtd). His biography has many interesting facts.
Hamid Ali was chosen by the Abacha regime as a member of the kangaroo tribunal that sentenced the famous environmentalist and minority rights activist Ken Saro-Wiwa to death by hanging.
The new comptroller general of customs, Colonel Ali, was a military administrator of Kaduna state from 1996 to 1998 under the dictatorial regime of the late general, Sani Abacha.
Reacting to the cold-blooded murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other Ogoni locals, Col. Ali said he had no shame over his role in the judicial process that led to Saro-Wiwa's execution.
Hamid Ali is 77-year-old Buhari's newly appointed head of customs."
