President Muhammadu Buhari may still be angry with the authorities of the Nigerian Immigration Service over the issuance of visa to Ahmad Al-Assir who is a globally wanted Lebanese national purportedly linked to ISIS, and has therefore ordered the suspension of the immigration’s Comptroller General, David Parradang.
According to reports, Parradang has been asked to proceed on suspension with effect from today, August 21, even as his second-in-command, Martin Abeshi, has been asked to take over.
It would also be recalled that the immigration service under the leadership of Parradang, sparked national outrage in 2014 after nearly 20 job applicants died in a stampede during an immigration recruitment test. [myad]
