Dauda Chana who has ensured that Officers and Men remain professional at all times is not happy with the development and says heads will roll.

The comptroller went as far as making his phone number public to allow free flow of information while investigation is on.

While he urges Customs Personnel to serve the public with dignity and respect, Dauda Chana promises the traders that those culpable will not find it easy with the punitive measures set in place by the service.
