President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday, August 21, 2015 suspended the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, David Parradang.
A source at the Presidency had erroneously revealed to The Trent that the suspension was connected to the issuance of a Nigerian visa to a fugitive Islamic State (ISIS) cleric, Ahmad al-Assir.
Further investigations revealed that the presidency has turned a deaf ears to the outrage that has greeted the news of al-Assir’s visa issuance, a situation which can be described as downright worrisome.
According to The Trent findings, Parradang’s suspension was as a result of his appointment of 700 Assistant Inspectors of Immigration and 900 Immigration Assistants without due process.
