Ex-Customs Comptroller-General, Dikko Inde, is dead.

Sources close to the family disclosed that he died at an expatriate hospital in Abuja, after the Maghrib prayers.

He was said to have been on admission for four days.

The undisclosed illness was said to have been so severe that the family even arranged an Air Ambulance to fly him abroad, but the doctors advised that he would not be able to make it to the destination if they attempted to fly him out.
