The Comptroller General, Nigerian Immigration Service, Isah Jere has reiterated his administration’s zero tolerance for corrupt and sharp practices.
The Immigration boss noted that such practice would be met with stiffer sanctions on staff found wanting.
A signed statement by the Chief Superintendent of Immigration Public Relations Department, Kenneth Kure made available to Channel Network Afrique, CNA indicates that the warning is as a result of recent allegation by a Dubai bound Nigerian citizen of sharp practices by some personnel during passengers clearance which occured about 3weeks ago at the Lagos airport.
According to the statement, the Immigration helmsman has ordered for a full scale investigation into the matter as well as the withdrawal of the entire shift on duty at the time of the incidence to allow unhindered investigations.
He further encouraged members of the public to contact the service through it’s various public communication channels including Twitter and Facebook handles @nigimmigration to lay complaints and report any misdemeanor by any member of staff for appropriate sanctions.
