Femi Adesina, the special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria has disclosed that the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Services was not suspended because an ISIS chief got a Nigerian visa.

Adesina said in a text message that the suspension of Paradang was not connected to the probe of how the ISIS chief got the Nigerian visa but for unauthorized recruitment into Immigration Service.

The suspended NIS CG who was appointed into office in June 2013 for a four-year tenure was also indicted in the recruitment scandal which led to the death of at least 15 applicants across Nigeria about two years ago.

The Immigration Service has been under focus in the past few days following revelations that Ahmad al-Assir, a leader of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, ISIS was able to secure valid Nigerian visa in Lebanon.

The ISIS leader who is on international list of wanted terrorists obtained the visa on a fake Palestinian port and was on his way to Nigeria before he was arrested in Lebanon.

Federal Government had on Wednesday ordered investigations into how the ISIS leader was able to obtain valid visa without detection.

But earlier today, The Federal Government suspended David Parradang, the Comptroller-General of Nigeria Immigration Services with immediate effect.

His suspension was contained in a statement signed by the Director of Press, Federal Ministry of Interior, Mr Yusuf Isiaka Alhaji, on behalf of the permanent secretary of the ministry.

The statement said the Deputy Comptroller-General of Immigration, Mr Martin Kure Abeshi, had been directed to take over the affairs of the office.

Abeshi is the most senior officer after Parradang, the statement added.

Gbam!!!
Over to you wailers.....

Feel free criticize.....

Better late than never. Someone have to take the blame, that what good governance should be.

good

what next?

don't bother with the explanation , we know why

But then why will someone want to twist this to an ethinc/tribal stuff or just for the hate for Buhari? In saner countries, this man would lose his job, entitlements, pension and would face the wrath of the law for the immigration exams scam and the souls that died as a result of that.

Chanji revolution.

That is a flimsy excuse frm Buhari gov..the family of the affected ppl was given immidiate jobs and #71m by the past istration and even embacked on a smooth recruitment prior to the election...there is more to it!

yes o! We thank God for giving us Buhari.. buh I am sure there is more to this suspension than meets the eye

Despite the deaths and the payment for recruitment into a government agency like the Immigration this dude still stayed as Comptroller General.
Even Abba Moro continued as a minister and nothing happened.
The immigration test was just an eye opener on how much our government really cared and our lives.
Some monies paid to families and phony jobs given to family was praised as enough by some people who don't know what it takes to loose someone dear to them in avoidable circumstances.
Thank goodness the needful is being done even if coming late.

If it was the era of GEJ the controller general would still be holding on to his job while the PDP blame the APC.

I'm just glad the era of impunity and do anyhow is behind us. Aside this, PMB should launch a full scaled investigation into the Immigration Job Scam.

I think that promotion has been relegated to the dust bin of history.

Thank you temitemi1 for your post. Can see you are beginning to get deliverance. You need to spread this anointing to that native fowl that created that thread on front page about two different reports in different newspapers and how APC is sponsoring shit.

Meanwhile, let me help you with the letter of suspension from the perm sec stating the very reason he was suspended. Buhari is not here for tea party. Do anyhow, you see anyhow.


Lalasticlala, this thread should make front page asap before Jesus comes.

Good riddiance to bad rubbish.
Next call of action is...

Picture or screenshots of the text message, if not I no believe.

There could be more to it. But this is more than enough reason.

This is a welcome development! days of impunity are over. His suspension is not enough, having cost the Federal Government millions for salaries of those illegally recruited, he should be taken to court.

Hi nairalanders, I apologize for bothering you with my problems. I'm an extra year student of oau Ile-Ife, and I'm encountering problem in paying for the extra session. My dad is late and my mum is not bouyant enough to pay, I heard that late registration that will attract an extra fee of #2000 has already started. The fees is around #27,000 minus accomodation. I don't mind if it's a loan or if I have to work for it, I just want to have a university degree. Help me, I don't want to become a 'dropout'. Help me in becoming a better person. Life is about to deny me life, help in rescuing me. Thanks in anticipation. 07018038211
