Immigration Officers to undergo Drug Test before handling Weapons

The Nigerian Immigration service has shared that its officers will undergo drug test before to ensure they are able to handle weapons.

Muhammad Babandede, NIS comptroller-general, was quoted as saying this in a statement issued by Sunday James, service spokesman on Saturday.

Babandede said any officer found wanting would be rehabilitated by the service.

“We cannot afford to be careless with weapons, hence, all officers of the service will undergo drug test beginning with me,” he said.

“We shall not dismiss anyone at first discovery but we would try to rehabilitate.

“However, if the fellow continued unrepentant, administrative procedures will be followed and appropriate sanctions applied.” he added
