Hammed Ibrahim Ali (born January 15, 1955) is a retired Nigerian Army Colonel and current Comptroller General of The Nigerian Customs Service. He was appointed to the Comptroller General position by President Muhammadu Buhari on August 27, 2015. [1] Col. Ali served as Military Administrator of Kaduna State, Nigeria (August 1996 - August 1998) during the military regime of General Sani Abacha[2] He is married to one wife and has 4 children. As governor, in October 1997 he sacked about 30,000 striking civil servants in Kaduna State, and detained 18 local government chairmen.[3] A journalist who reported on the sackings was allegedly arrested, severely beaten, then taken to the Government House and further tortured.[4] The story published in Tempo Magazine was entitled “Goodbye Justice”. The story was later discredited and proven to be false.[5]
After retirement, he became Secretary of the Arewa Consultative Forum, a northern lobbying group, and a supporter of Major General Muhammadu Buhari in his bid to run for president.[6] In June 2006 Ali stated that the North would regain the presidency in 2007.[7] He supported Vice President Atiku Abubakar's comments to the effect that president Olusegun Obasanjo would honour his pledge to vacate office in 2007.[8]
