Female Immigration Officials In #BopDaddyChallenge Posted To Boko Haram States

The Five female Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) personnel who partook in the viral #BopDaddyChallenge, have all been reassigned to restive states across the country for violating the moral codes of the NIS.

In April, NIS issued a query to the ladies, saying their participation in the challenge had caused the organisation “a lot of embarrassment.”

The #BopDaddyChallenge which is a sensation crafted out of the viral new song by rapper Falz which features Ms Banks. The 5 ladies that all took part in the challenge are Priscilla Irabor, Catherine J. Bakura, Blessing Alfred Udida, Binti I. Attabor and Ockiya Eneni have now been posted to states where insurgency and banditry are rife according to NewsWireNGR. 

Whoever has direct contact with the immigration ladies should please reach out to me. DM or something. Thanks ??

In a memo it exclusively obtained, the news platform writes that the officers “have been given just 7 days to report at their new places of assignment.”

Below are the new location each of the ladies has been transferred to;

In the postings ostensibly orchestrated to meet punitive and discriminatory objectives, Priscilla Irabor has been transferred from NIS Lagos State Command to the Nigeria Immigration Training School, Kano (ITSK).

Binti Attabor has been reposted from the service headquarters in Abuja to the Yobe State Command.

Catherine Bakura has been moved from the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Enugu to the Nigeria Immigration Training School Ahoada in Rivers State.

Blessing Alfred Udida, the report states, has been moved from the FCT (Abuja) Command to the Akwa Ibom State Command.

Ockiya Eneni has been transferred from the CERPAC (Combined Expatriate Residence Permit and Aliens Card) production facility to the Borno State Command.

The reassigned personnel will bear all travel and relocation expenses as well, the report states.

Furious immigration bosses

The source had however noted that top, conservative bosses at the NIS had insisted on punishing the female officers because participating in the pop-culture #BopDaddychallenge was a violation of the organisation’s ethics and code of conduct.

“We need to punish them to serve as a deterrence to others. If they want to be dancing on social media, they should have resigned. It was immoral of them to do what they did” one irate NIS boss was quoted as saying.
