Senator hunts for immigration boss’ sacking

The Senator representing Taraba South in the National Assembly, Emmanuel Bwacha, on Saturday, called for the sacking of the Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration Service, Mr. Muhammad Babandede, for the purported influx of armed militia from the Maghreb into the country.

Bwacha, who is the Deputy Senate Minority Leader, made the call in an interview with the Media shortly after he inaugurated the rehabilitation of Wukari-Ibi Road.

He recalled the statement of President Muhammadu Buhari where he said those attacking and killing people in Nigeria were trained in Libya by the late Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi.

He said, “We take the last statement of the President in the United Kingdom to mean that he has now seen the reality. All other statements he made on the issue in the past were falsehood from his spin doctors.

“Now that he has the true picture of what is happening in Nigeria as far as insecurity is concerned, someone must lose his job if the President wants Nigerians to take him seriously. How can the militia from the Maghreb be penetrating our borders? What is the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service doing and what made our borders so porous to the extent that people are coming into the country to kill Nigerians?
