The Comptroller-General of the Service, Hameed Ali, made this known while he featured in the media briefing coordinated by the Presidential Media Team on Thursday in Abuja.
Ali said the service abhors corruption and has zero tolerance for such officers.
He disclosed that in addition to losing their jobs, some of those found wanting had been prosecuted and jailed.
According to Ali, many of those who have been dismissed were found to be shortchanging the Service in its revenue drive, especially on the duties tax that should accrue to the organisation for imported vehicles.
The Customs boss also revealed that some importers who were also found to have engaged in sharp practices which had infringed on the activities of the Service have either been suspended or prosecuted.
He said he was committed to ensuring excellent services but hopes his successor will maintain the standard.
