Senior immigration officer assaults junior at passport office Nigerians Nigeria
An officer of the Nigeria Immigration Service at the Ikoyi Passport Office, Mr Yemi Badru, has come under fire for reporting an alleged assault on him by a senior officer, Nasir Umar, to the police.
The victim was reported to have told Umar that he could not have been faster than he was because the Internet services were poor on the day, but the senior officer was said to have abused him. One of the sources said, “Rather than punishing Umar for beating Badru, some powerful persons in the Immigration have now said Badru should be queried for reporting the case to the police. It is an attempt to cover up Umar’s misdeed, because he is a northerner and the bosses also are from the North.
“I discovered that I was bleeding from one of my nostrils and I later sought Alao’s permission to seek urgent medical treatment at the Immigration Clinic. I was advised to go to a hospital instead of our clinic. “At this point, I forwarded my written complaint to the Passport Control Officer. I also reported Umar’s assault on me to the police. After making a statement at the Ikoyi Police Station, nothing has been heard from the police.”
