The Nigeria Immigration Service has disciplined five of its female officers by transferring them to Borno, Yobe, Kano and other States far away from their current duty posts for participating in a social media competition known as #Bopdaddy challenge.

Bop Daddy is a song by popular Nigerian musician, Falz, and the challenge was initiated by the musician himself, perhaps in a bid to promote his then-new track.

The five ladies had recorded themselves transforming from their uniforms to a wide range of outfits while participating in the challenge initiated by popular Nigerian musician, Falz.

The officers are: Priscilla Irabor, Catherine J. Bakura, Blessing Alfred Udida, Binti I. Attabor and Ockiya Eneni.

TheNigerialawyer recalls that the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) had in early April queried the participants, calling on them to tell give credible reasons why they should not be penalised.

In a new memo dated May 12, 2020, signed by Assistant Comptroller-General, Iam Haliru, the reason for their transfer was not expressly stated.

The memo with reference number NIS/HQ/ADM/4422/V/684 read in part, “Kindly note that the relocation is at no cost to the service and ensure compliance report reaches the Comptroller General of Immigration on or before May 19, 2020.”

The NIS transferred Irabor from the Lagos State Command to the Nigeria Immigration Training School, Kano, Attabor was posted from the service headquarters in Abuja to Yobe State Command, Udida from the FCT Command was sent to the Akwa Ibom State Command, Bakura was transferred from the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, to the Nigeria Immigration Training School Ahoada, Rivers State, while Eneni was moved from the Combined Expatriate Residence Permit and Aliens Card production facility to the Borno State Command.

The NIS also said that the costs for relocation will be shouldered by the officers and that within 7 days.
