Immigration boss Probes Officers over Extortion in
North-East
The Comptroller-General of Immigration, Mr. Muhammad Babandede,
has read Riot Act to officers and men of the service manning
various ports of entry following allegations of extortion and
corrupt practices.
The CGI gave the warning just as allegations of extortion
persist at some passport offices with some applicants accusing
officers of demanding for gratification.
The service spokesman, DCI James Sunday, in a statement, said
the attention of the CG had been drawn to an allegation of
extortion by some officers and men of the NIS especially along
Borno State border axis of Darman-Gubio- Magumeri-Maiduguri Road
and Munguno- Maiduguri Road.
The statement said: “In the light of the above, the CGI has
directed for an investigation into the alleged corrupt practice. He
has also directed Comptrollers to properly brief personnel under
their Commands and to take practical steps to ensure Officers and
Men adhere strictly to their official mandates and steer clear of
any act tantamount to extortion.”
