Customs Confirms Release Of Obasanjo’s Controversial Autobiography, "My Watch"

The Nigeria Customs Service on Thursday said it had released former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s autobiography titled, My Watch.
The News Agency of Nigeria reported that the NCS Comptroller-General, Alhaji Dikko Abdullahi, made the disclosure to newsmen when he inaugurated two new patrol boats of the service in Lagos.
Abdullahi said the container was released following the vacation of an FCT High Court order restraining the former President from publishing, printing or offering for sale, his autobiography titled, ‘My Watch’, on Tuesday.

“Customs got the initial order of the court to stop the container and now that the court asks us to release the container, so be it”, he said.
Ashi, in a ruling, upheld the argument by Obasanjo’s counsel, Kanu Agabi (SAN), that the court was misled into granting the orders on December 5 and December 10, 2014.
“We have two boats for now. We will watch their performance and see if there is need to have more.
“With the performance of the boats government will not hesitate to give us more money to buy more”, he said.
“It is a bad memory. Nine of my officers were really killed on the high sea by smugglers, who were carrying petrol”, he added.
