Nigerian musician, Folarin Falana, aka Falzthebahdguy, has
written a letter to the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian
Immigration Service, Mr. Muhammed Babandede, on behalf of the five
female officers who were penalised for taking part in his ‘Bop
Daddy’ challenge.
Bop Daddy is an online dance video challenge created by the
musician to promote his latest single track with the same
title.
An online video showing the five officers taking part in the
challenge while wearing their uniforms went viral about two months
ago.
Following the development, the five officers were queried by the
service and subsequently transferred to remote parts of the country
without any provision for their transportation and accommodation as
contained in the service rules.
In a letter he shared on Twitter, today, Falz pleaded with the
immigration boss to consider reversing the harsh punishments meted
out to the officers in the face of the prevailing situation in the
country occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Falz wrote on his Twitter handle, “Hi @nigimmigration I have
sent a letter to the Comptroller-General of the NIS concerning the
#Immigration5 Please treat as urgent cc @babandedemb.
