As part of efforts to rid the Service of bad eggs and in furtherance of the Federal Government’s fight against corruption, the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, has dismissed 4 personnel and demoted 14 for various offences for which they appeared before the Orderly Room Trial Committee of the Service.
In a press release issued today by the Service Public Relations Officer, DCI Tony Akuneme, four other personnel were discharged and acquitted, while 2 were redeployed to other locations.
The NIS statement also read that 11 were issued warning letters and 1 was compulsorily retired.
According to the Committee, 11 personnel were still awaiting trial.
Also, the Comptroller General, NIS, Isah Jere Idris assured the general public that there were no sacred cows in the NIS as all offenders shall be appropriately sanctioned.
