Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The acting Comptroller General of Immigration (CGI) Idris Jere has ordered the removal of two operatives from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Command (MMIA) in Lagos.<\/p>\n

The personnel were sanctioned for unprofessional conduct, Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) spokesman Amos Akpu said in a statement on Friday.<\/p>\n

A Twitter user had narrated how a 14-year-old daughter who was travelling out of the country was extorted.<\/p>\n

Akpu said the NIS, via its Twitter handle, contacted the woman and assured that the matter would be looked into.<\/p>\n

The CGI then directed an investigation, including a thorough check of the CCTV covering the section.<\/p>\n

The probe team headed by the Lagos Airport Comptroller of Immigration, CIS Kemi Nandap caught the officers.<\/p>\n

Akpu noted that they were found culpable of unprofessional action in the handling of the clearance process of the passenger.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have been withdrawn from the airport and all privileges as operatives at the airport stripped off them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are currently undergoing necessary disciplinary procedures in line with the directives of the acting Comptroller General.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jere stressed his administration\u2019s zero tolerance for all forms of indecent conducts and urged members of the public to report such acts to the NIS.<\/p>\n
