3 female immigration staff in trouble for taking part in #dontrushchallenge online(Video)

Three staff of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) are in some trouble for indecently “flaunting bodies” in the Don’t Rush Challenge video which has been on globally for months now.

In a query dated 15th of April, 2020, to three officers identified as Priscilla Irabor (38549), Catherine J. Bakura (38152) and Blessing Alfred Udida (38002), the NIS said the trio were being probed for flaunting their bodies, desecration of Service uniform/beret and the use of inappropriate language, thereby sabotaging the values upheld by the service.

The NIS in the query said that the video which has witnessed women and other law enforcement officers, in many countries have made similar clips and posted on social media to show the world their humane side amid the coronavirus crisis, is an embarrassment to the paramilitary organisation.

The query signed by Ishiaka Haliru, an Assistant Comptroller General on behalf of the Comptroller General, Muhammed Babandede also stated that the use of inappropriate language in the video sabotages the values upheld by the service.

The query by the NIS reads thus in detail; “The attention of the Comptroller General has been drawn to a video clip trending on social media in recent times which revealed a rather disturbing and embarrassing display of indecent flaunting of your bodies, desecration of Service uniform/beret and the use of inappropriate language thereby, sabotaging the values upheld by the service.

“To state the obvious, your act has caused a lot of embarrassment to the NIS and in line with our standard as a paramilitary organisation, is considered scandalous and an act unbecoming of an officer and therefore a violation of the PSR 030401 and 030402. This is a serious offense liable to dismissal from Service,” the query added.
