The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied reports that it is investigating the Comptroller General (CG) of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Kemi Nandap, over alleged visa racketeering.

n

Spokesperson of the commission, Dele Oyewale, made the denial in a statement on Monday in Abuja.

n

Oyewale described the reports of alleged investigation of the CG together with some officers on visa racketeering as false.

n

”The commission wishes to state unequivocally that it has no case with the CG Immigration.

n

”There are subsisting cases of alleged visa fraud against some immigration officers at the Federal High Court.

n

“Further investigations are ongoing with the possibility that more NIS officers could be arraigned for alleged fraudulent practices in the near future.

n

”However, the Immigration CG is not remotely connected to these investigations,” he said.

n

He enjoined the media to always seek clarifications on the activities of the EFCC to avoid misrepresentation of facts.
