Mahmoud Muhammad Al-Hajj, Director General of Dar Saad Customs Control, denied the allegations circulating regarding the transfer of customs employees to an office independent of traffic, stressing that this action came after the Aden Traffic Director physically assaulted the customs employees and closed the office and expelled them.

Al-Hajj mocked the open fabrication attempt through which some tried to justify these irresponsible practices that do not befit state officials.

He explained that Aden Traffic Director Jamal Dayan had a car for one of his friends, which he wanted to register. This car, based on its model, is considered a regular Land Cruiser, but from the actual inspection it is an armored car, after some security modifications were made to it, which led to the fall of our specialist employee. In an unintentional mistake, it was granted customs duties for a regular car based on its model. After that, we were forced to correct the error and thus amend the customs duties due, which angered Dayan. He then rushed towards our employees in a hysterical manner, insulting them, insulting them, expelling them, and closing our customs offices on us. Then he repeated that again with the Director General of Customs, attacking him and insulting him.

Al-Hajj added: If it were not for our responsible actions, there would have been a major fight between traffic personnel and customs officials  in light of the presence of a large number of citizens, and it would have been better for him to respect our duties as a government facility that preserves the state’s rights and its due revenues and to commit to and pay what he owes from the state’s revenues. Due.
