Feelers from government circles indicate that the case of former Nigeria Immigration Service boss, David Shikfu Parradang is like that of the proverbial hunter's dog that wouldn't hear his master's whistle.
A subsequent statement to the one that announced Parradang's dismissal issued on 21 August 2015 and signed by a director/secretary in the ministry in charge of Civil Defence, Fire Service, Immigration and Prisons Services Board, Mr A. A. Ibrahim gave more insight into Parradang's suspension.
His number one sin according to the statement was the issuance of appointment letters to 1600 new personnel without approval. The new recruitments consisted of 700 Assistant Inspectors of Immigration and 900 Immigration Assistant III.
The suspended Immigration boss is said to have ignored repeated warnings from superior authorities to take necessary corrective actions. The statement cited the letters from the supervising ministry as reference nos: FMI/PSO/OOllll/402 of June 11, 2015, and FMI/PSO/OOl/lll/411 of June 14, 2015.
By failing to act directed in those letters, Parradang registered his second sin.
Whatever hope that was left for Parradang was swept away by the Nigerian Visa scandal involving ISIS terrorist, Imam Ahmed al-Assir. The wanted cleric was arrested at the Rafik Hariri International Airport, Beirut as he tried to board a flight to Palestine enroute to Nigeria with a fake Palestinian passport and a valid Nigerian Visa. That was how the embattled former Immigration boss landed sin number three in his register.
