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.
