cc77: Certificate scandal rocks Immigration
Service
By Our Reporter
Paradang
An intensive lobbying is presently going on
in the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), a
paramilitary agency of the Ministry of
Interior, to persuade the authorities to turn
a blind eye to the report of two
committees, which recently verified the
certificates of the NIS staff.
The NIS and Ministry of Interior had not
long ago set up different panels to
investigate charges of certificate and age
falsification levied against some senior
officers.
Comptroller General of Immigration Service
(CGIS), David Shikfu Paradang, had carried
out the exercise in line with the tasks
handed over to him during his swearing-in
by President Goodluck Jonathan on June
12, 2013.
Jonathan had directed Paradang to flush
out bad eggs, “viruses and all forms of
bad characters in the service”.
Paradang was said to have begun the in-
house cleaning exercise after the
President’s charge to flush out majority
of the officers said to have altered their
dates of birth to beat early retirement.
In fact, about 60 per cent of the staff of
the NIS was discovered to be working with
fake certificates.
Not only this, many of them were also
found to have falsified their ages.
While the certificate verification committee
set up by the CGIS was in session, many of
the staff were said to have avoided the
exercise by refusing to submit the format
required of them because of the legal
implication of swearing on oath, as they
possess fake certificates.
A source close to the agency told Daily
Independent that the report of the
committees may not see the light of the
day, as some prominent politicians are
bent on killing their findings.
The NIS committee, which had Mrs. Rebecca
Ayuba, an Assistant, Comptroller General of
Immigration (ACI), as a member, was said
to have carried out a thorough job.
Mrs. Ayuba was described as a seasoned
officer with a good reputation.
Similarly, Minister for Interior, Patrick Abba
Moro, inaugurated another committee
early in the year to verify the academic
certificates of the staff of the NIS.
A circular (Ref. No. FMOI/DPARA/0045/
V.I./166 June 12, 2014) signed by K.E.
Amuga (Director in-charge of Paramilitary
Services Department in the Ministry)
directed all the staff of the NIS to forward
within two weeks a format which included
their bio-data, educational qualifications(s)
, secondary and tertiary institutions
attended with dates and NYSC discharge
certificate/exemption.
The officers were also required to swear an
affidavit of facts at the High Court of
Justice that the information and facts
contained in the format and the
documents submitted to the Ministry’s
Academic Certificates Verification
Committee are correct.
They were also asked to attach their
passport photographs, photocopies of
letter(s) of promotion(s), approval for
additional qualifications and evidence of
payment to the sworn affidavit.
Members of the committee included K.E.
Amuga (Director – Paramilitary Dept),
Abdullahi S. Karshi (ACTU-Civil Defence, Fire,
Immigration and Prison Services Board)
and Ime U. Nta, a Chief Superintendent of
Immigration (Special Assistant to the
Minister on Immigration Matters).
Though the committees were said to have
concluded their assignments, the
government is under pressure to dump the
reports because many of the officers were
said to be in possession of fake certificates.
“During the verification exercise, we
discovered that the productivity,
professional and competence levels of
many staff on board are abysmal.
“We discovered as well that many officers
in the NIS wear ranks they cannot defend.
These translate to inability to deal with
challenges of tackling insecurity in the
country.
“It was discovered that about 60 per cent
of officers are holding certificates they
cannot defend, because during the scrutiny
exercise, a cursory investigation showed
that many officers have different dates of
birth”, said a member of one of the
committees who preferred anonymity.
The source alleged that many of the staff
also bought forged degree certificates.
According to him, “because of too much
attachment to paper qualification, people
have to source for avenues to acquire
such”.
According to him, a serving female
Assistant Comptroller of Immigration (ACI)
actually obtained her first and master’s
degrees from an Italian University with a
pass in one school certificate subject.
The officer with Master’s Degree in
Philosophy from Pontifial Universitas
Lateranensis, Rome, claimed to have
attended the university between 1983 and
1985 with only one subject obtained from
the West African School Certificate
Examination (WASCE) in 1981.
“This is a clear case of forgery. This
officer who joined the NIS on October 9,
1989, obtained her WASC in 1981 with only
one subject. She claimed to have proceeded
to this university in Rome and obtained her
first degree in 1983. Do you obtain a
degree certificate in two years?
“As if that was not enough, she claimed
to have obtained her second degree in the
same university in 1985. She later sat for
her General Certificate of Examination (GCE)
in 2005 in Nigeria.
“Do you sit for GCE after obtaining two
degrees from the university?” the officer
queried.
To him, this is another clear case of forgery
and the female officer has been in service
for more than 20 years.
The source told Daily Independent that the
certificate verification exercises had
exposed majority of them in this act.
Another officer who has been serving in
Lagos for over 10 years also claimed to
have just graduated from the University of
Maiduguri.
“How did he acquire such degree when
the university in question does not offer
part-time degree programmes in Lagos and
he did not apply for a study leave?” she
queried.
“Something is wrong somewhere,” the
source fumed.
She further told Daily Independent that
many of the officers who were verified
presented letters of notification of results
and also letters of exemption from
National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) from
universities to defend their forged
certificates.
An Assistant Superintendent of
Immigration at the Nnamdi Azikiwe
International Airport, Abuja, also said: “A
report is out and the CGIS is in possession
of it. Most of their godfathers are
pressuring the Minister of Interior and
some prominent politicians across the land
to dump the report because they want to
cover their inadequacies.
“Interestingly, a member of one of the
committees has multiple dates of birth.
“He fraudulently and criminally doctored
his certificates. He has the old Grade 11
Teachers’ Certificate, but he claimed to
be a second degree holder,” the source
said.
Further investigations by Daily
Independent revealed that Moro had
flocked the NIS with officers from his
Idoma extraction in Benue State.
According to sources, since 2011, the
Idoma tribe have got more slots in
recruitment exercises over Adamawa and
Taraba states.
Another Immigration official concurred
that the report of the committees might
not see the light of the day because they
(reports) would be ratified by the Civil
Defence, Immigration, Fire and Prisons
Board (CDIFPB), headed by Moro.
“The Honourable Minister is the chairman
of the CDIFPB that would consider the
reports. Since some of the people indicted
by the committees came into the service
through him, you can label the report as
BID (Brought In Dead),” the officer said.
When contacted, spokesman of the NIS,
Chukwuemeka Obuah, an Assistant
Comptroller of Immigration (ACI), said it
was true that committees were
inaugurated and that a report has been
submitted, but he said he could not
comment on it.
Asked how the committees were able to
determine fake certificates, Obuah
confirmed that the NIS has the most
equipped forensic laboratory in Africa that
can detect frauds at any level.
Obuah said the NIS maintains a well
equipped Document Fraud Laboratory
which has the primary responsibility of
carrying out forensic examination of
suspicious travel documents and monetary
instruments.
According to him, the Document Fraud
Laboratory is patronised by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Nigeria
Police Force (NPF) and commercial banks
whenever they have need for forensic
examination of monetary instruments.
In another development, Captains of
vessels that discharge premium motor
spirits (PMS) at the Apapa Quay, Lagos, are
alleging that NIS officials extort money
from them.
They allege that the NIS officials always
demand money and food from the
Captains before they allow them to anchor
their vessels.
They also claimed that they had brought
the case before the Controller in-charge of
Lagos Seaport/Marine Command, Mrs. T.
Olaniyi, and that officers had been warned
to discontinue with such illegal practices.
According to our source, the NIS officials
now issue fake Temporary Work Permit
(TWP) to Captains in an attempt to collect
money from them.
“The TWP is a kind of visa issued only by
the Comptroller General of Immigration
Service for foreigners to install equipment
of commission equipment which can not
be done by Nigerians.
“It is issued through Cablegrams to such
foreigners through the Operations Section
of the NIS to get them entry visas.
“We now have officials who issue this
fake TWP and collect money from the
shipping companies when they go for
clearance,” said one of the officials of a
shipping company.
Instead of sending the TWP to foreigners
before they come into the country, they
now issue it to them on arrival in the
country.
However, Deputy Director (Public
Relations), Nigerian Shippers’ Council
(NSC), I. N. Nweke, said such complaints
have not been brought before the NSC.
He said the shipping companies or Captains
should document their claims for proper
investigation.
“We hold regular meetings with the NIS.
If we get such complaints, they will be
addressed,” Nweke promised.
interesting! What are you people waiting for, give them sack letter. So we can replace them.

genxris: The Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba
Moro has re-assured victims of the
Immigration recruitment that the Federal
Government would fulfil her promise to the
victims.
Moro in a statement signed yesterday by his
Special Assistant on Media, Mr. George
Udoh, revealed that the Presidential
Committee had almost completed its
assignment and the board of Civil Defence ,
Immigration and Prisons would not
hesitate to implement the President’s
directives on the palliatives for the families
of the victims at the end of the Presidential
Committee’s assignment.
The Minister also explained that the
apparent delay in not implementing the
directives up to this moment was the need
to exercise due diligence and to ensure
that the due process was not abused and
genuine claimants were not omitted in the
recruitment exercise.
He further disclosed that "since the
Presidential pronouncement, the Ministry,
the Presidential committee, the NIS and
even the Ministry of Justice have been
inundated with very many claims some of
which are certainly not true". Consequently,
the Minister urged Nigerians, "particularly
families of those who were affected in the
failed Immigration recruitment exercise
for further patience and understanding so
as not to be stampede into making
avoidable mistakes".
