President Muhammadu Buhari has suspended the comptroller general of Nigeria Immigration Service, David Parradang.

Mr. Parradang was asked to immediately proceed on suspension Friday while the service’s deputy comptroller general, Martin Abeshi, takes over, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.

It was not immediately clear why Mr. Parradang was sanctioned.

However, the Immigration Service under his leadership sparked national outrage in 2014 after nearly 20 job applicants died in stampede during an Immigration recruitment test.

Ahead of the examinations, an agent commissioned by the Ministry of Interior, extorted N1000 from each of over 700,000 applicants.
Despite raising nearly a N1 billion, logistics for the exercise were dismal resulting in the deaths.

Mr. Parradang denied any role in the contract. He said the Interior minister, Abba Moro, handled the deal.
An investigation launched by the Senate into the matter, ended without a report till date.

good step..

btw.... how this people were dey ontop my head take appear.. .. 60:9 pm crew

Nice






I just pray PMB doesn't spoil this good step with another '95%' appointment.... Nigeria is a federation not a Goddamn Caliphate

Nice one PMB... Pple must be held responsible when things go wrong...The era of ''impunitised incompetence'' is gone 4 good with d last admin...dis same man should have been fired when some applicants lost their lives in d Immigration recruitment scandal,but because we had then a corrupt riddled Govt that didn't care,he was made to retain his Job...now,his agency issued visa to a terrorist..a disgraceful show of incompetence again which PMB wont take for granted..this is an era of ''sit up or get fired'' no time for nonsense... God bless the movement that ended cluelessness and brought change to Nigeria...God bless Nigeria.

Dead on arrival!!Buhari and APC should come out clean and explain to Nigerians why they grant visas to global known terrorists. In a sane clime Buhari and APC would have been taken to Hague for sponsoring terrorism in the West African sub-region.

No-nonsense sheriff is in town.Shape up or be shipped out.
This is a govt that knows its onions;since the immigration boss didn't want to resign honorably till investigations are concluded,he had to be booted out so that he doesn't compromise the investigation.

This is change
I wish buhari was in power when Stella odua was messing up

Good decision by the president. If he can't explain how the Isis terrorist got a valid Nigerian visa, the suspension should be converted to sack. Incompetency should not be condoned in the PMB administration.

buygala:
95% now loading. ........

You mean aböki substitution?

okay

APC should explain to Nigerians...

Quite explains his ambition. No room for incompetence in this administration.

Ride on baba

Wailing wailer are now doing press-up and will soon launch attacks

SAI_BABA[/size]

The honourable president is fulfilling his promises afterall. Sai Baba.. Even wailers are getting tired of wailing

this nigga is no nonsense man o

If this suspension was based on the 2014 recruitment brouhaha, or any other corrupt act, then good move.

I dash the man the #1000 wey I pay wholeheartedly

Thank God I didn't bother going for the test.

Interesting..... How I wish the former minister is tried and punished

Baba teaching leaders to be responsible and accountable for anything and everything that happens under their stewardship the hard way

Itz high tym dey refund my 1K...
#NowThatBabaGoesLowIsInCharge

...

The blood of those innocent Nigerians who died in that immigration scam will continue to hunt jonathan for not sacking this paradang guy after that incidence.

kk

This news got me confused, the issue of the ISIS chief who was arrested with a nigerian Visa was the reason why PMB sacked parradang, the visa was issued in lebannon. The ambassador who is the highest officer in an embassy and charged with overall affairs of the mission is expected to be privy to the approval and rejection of visa applications carried out by consular officers not sacking Imigration boss here in Nigeria, (oribibe ko ni ogun orififo) cutting an head is not the solution to an headache jare

Long overdue!!!
