The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has dismissed eight of its personnel from the service while 18 others have been sanctioned for various offences relating to indiscipline, racketeering and other forms of corrupt practices
The Comptroller General, Isah Idris, in a statement on Nov 1 added that a total of 100 personnel working at the International Airport in Lagos have been deployed out of the airport with immediate effect
The statement revealed the decision was taken following the approval granted by the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board which noted that the conduct of the personnel has grossly remained unbecoming and unacceptable as members of the service
“After exhaustive deliberations by the committees, 8 personnel comprising one chief superintendent of immigration, 2 deputy superintendents of immigration, 2 assistant superintendents of immigration II & 3 rank & file were summarily dismissed from the service.
