Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Muhammad Babandede, has warned officers and men of the service against compromising Nigeria\u2019s security through bribe taking.<\/p>\n

Babandede gave the warning on Monday while addressing operatives in Katsina State.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are aware that some of you have been collecting bribes from criminals. I am warning you to stop such because it is a threat to the country\u2019s security.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot tolerate such an attitude because by doing that, you are compromising the country\u2019s security and the country will not move forward,\u2019\u2019 Babandede said.<\/p>\n

Babandede charged them to be professional while carrying out their duties and desist from bribe taking at border checkpoints.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI have received reports that some of you collect bribes at several checkpoints. I don\u2019t know who you give the money to,\u2019\u2019 Babandede cautioned.<\/p>\n

The CG, therefore, warned that any officer caught in such an act would be disciplined.<\/p>\n

He said that he was in the state to seek traditional rulers\u2019 collaboration in identifying illegal aliens in view of the security challenges facing the state.<\/p>\n
