No more impunity!

President Muhammadu Buhari has suspended the
comptroller general of Nigeria Immigration Service,
David Parradang. Mr. Parradang was asked to
immediately proceed on suspension Friday while the
service's deputy comptroller general, Martin Abeshi,
takes over, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
It was not immediately clear why Mr. Parradang was
sanctioned. However, the Immigration Service under
his leadership sparked national outrage in 2014 after
nearly 20 job applicants died in stampede during an
Immigration recruitment test. Ahead of the
examinations, an agent commissioned by the
Ministry of Interior, extorted N1000 from each of
over 700,000 applicants. Despite raising nearly a N1
billion, logistics for the exercise were dismal
resulting in the deaths. Mr. Parradang denied any
role in the contract. He said the Interior minister,
Abba Moro, handled the deal. An investigation
launched by the Senate into the matter, ended
without a report till date.
