Five Female Employees Of Nigeria Immigration Service Who
Participated In Falz's 'Don't Rush' Challenge Punished With
Redeployment To Borno, Yobe, Others
Five female officers of the Nigeria Immigration Service
have been punished with redeployment to states in Nigeria
where the fight against insurgency and Coronavirus is
ongoing after they participated in a viral video challenge in
their uniforms.
The ladies, Priscilla Irabor, Catherine J. Bakura, Blessing
Alfred Udida, Binti I. Attabor and Ockiya Eneni had
recorded themselves transforming from their uniforms to a
wide range of outfits while participating in the challenge
initiated by popular Nigerian musician, Falz.
Early in April, the NIS in a disciplinary memo asked the
women to explain why the should not be subjected to
punishment for allegedly violating the agency's internal
code.
In a new memo seen by SaharaReporters on Wednesday,
the service transferred Irabor from the Lagos State
Command to the Nigeria Immigration Training School,
Kano, Attabor was posted from the service headquarters in
Abuja to Yobe State Command, Udida from the FCT
Command was sent to the Akwa Ibom State Command,
Bakura was transferred from the Nnamdi Azikiwe
International Airport, Abuja, to the Nigeria Immigration
Training School Ahoada, Rivers State, while Eneni was
moved from the Combined Expatriate Residence Permit
and Aliens Card production facility to the Borno State
Command.
The agency also stated that the relocation will be at the
expense of the affected female officers involved and must
be done within seven days.
This is despite the ban on inter-state travels and closure of
airports in the country due to the outbreak of Coronavirus.
