Indications have emerged why the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), Mr. David Parradang, was suspended from office yesterday. It was gathered that Parradang was suspended over alleged recruitment of 1,000 immigration officers by the organization in a way that violates due process.
According to source privy to the development, the affected officers were hired through a committee instead of allowing the Customs and Immigration Board to do so. The source said, the officers were recruited after President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration took over.
The source added that Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior drew his attention to the violation of due process, he however claimed that there was an approval he got from ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
He stated that although the Permanent Secretary reported the suspended CG to President Muhammadu Buhari, when he rendered an unsatisfactory answer to the query issued him, he was suspended.
