The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has commenced an investigation into alleged extortion by its officers along the Lagos-Seme border corridor following viral reports online.
As part of immediate action, the Comptroller General, Kemi Nandap, ordered the suspension of comptrollers overseeing the affected commands to allow for a transparent probe.
In a statement by the Service’s spokesperson, DCI Akinsola Akinlabi, the agency condemned the alleged misconduct, describing it as a violation of its core values and operational standards.
The NIS said a full investigation is underway to identify all officers involved, adding that anyone found guilty will face strict disciplinary action.
The Service reaffirmed its commitment to professionalism and warned that it will not tolerate actions that undermine public trust or its integrity.
It also urged Nigerians to report misconduct through its official channels, noting that internal measures are being strengthened to ensure accountability and uphold ethical standards.
