Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has established an Immigration Fraud Section in some of its commands across the country.<\/p>\n

EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale, in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, said its chairman, Ola Olukoyede, disclosed this on Tuesday while receiving a delegation of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, RCMP.<\/p>\n

The delegation was led by its Director General, Superintendent Rabhi Abdallah, to the EFCC corporate headquarters, in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Olukoyede said the measure was to tackle immigration fraud and the accompanying reputational damage it was causing the country.<\/p>\n

He said that the new section was established barely two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cApart from what we have done in the foreign exchange market, two weeks ago, we set up an Immigration Fraud Section.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano and in all our zonal commands where we have embassies because we have seen quite a lot of fraud in that area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have scammed people a lot, so we want to devote our attention and resources to that area to ensure that Nigerians and diplomatic missions in Nigeria will not be victims of visa and immigration scams again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Olukoyede expressed the readiness of EFCC to partner with RCMP in the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n
