Nigeria Immigration Dismantles Unauthorised Border Checkpoints, Nandap Orders Routine Patrols

Comptroller General of Immigration (CGI), Kemi Nandap, has dismantled all unauthorised checkpoints along Nigeria’s border posts.

Nandap, however, ordered routine patrols to completely forestall dangerous and unauthorised elements from entering into the country.

She equally ordered the immediate submission of audit reports on manpower and logistics.

A statement on Friday by the spokesman of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Kenneth Udo, said the CGI gave the order at a meeting with Comptrollers of Border Commands and Commanders at the Service Headquarters in Abuja.

According to him, the decision is aimed at ensuring efficient border security and migration management which are core mandates of the Immigration Service.

“The CGI charged them to be dedicated to duty and underscored the significance of border security stating that Nigeria’s current realities require extra layers of security at the borders to prevent infiltration by criminal elements that could fuel crises in the country.

“Nandap instructed that henceforth, Comptrollers are to employ supervisory strategies, ensure timely report of major movements (entries and exits) and, professionally, handle sensitive intelligence requiring urgent attention with recommendations for enhanced border monitoring.”

The statement added that: “These reports are to be submitted weekly through approved administrative channels.”

According to the statement, the CGI directed the “immediate submission of both Manpower and Logistics audit; and tasked Commanders on the need for a robust Inter-Agency collaboration for effective intelligence sharing.

The statement further read that: “Furthermore, she ordered the removal of unauthorised checkpoints and conduct routine patrols to completely forestall dangerous and unauthorised elements from entering the country.

“The meeting provided the Service with ample opportunity to assess situations at the borders to gain useful insights that will guide policy and operational strategies towards enhanced national security.

“The Comptroller General reiterated the Services commitment to the deployment of e-solutions, training and the welfare of officers in the field.”
