EFCC Seeks Immigration's Assistance in Tracking Fraudsters
The South South Zonal Head
of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Ishaq Salilu, on
Wednesday January 18, 2017 called for an enhanced collaboration between the
EFCC and the Nigeria Immigration Services, NIS, in checking the menace of
criminals and fraudsters in the country.
Salihu made this remark when
he received the Comptroller of Immigration, Rivers State , A. B. Yarima who
paid him a courtesy visit in his office. ”We pray for a deepened collaboration.
We are very ready to partner with you” he said.
According to Salihu, the
Nigeria Immigration Service is such a critical organization in the country that
an enhanced collaboration will enable the Commission track fraudsters who
despite having their international passports seized by the Commission are still
able to sneak out of the country through other means. “How they disappear
remains a mystery to us,” he said.
Earlier A.B Yarima, said he
had visited other sister agencies and felt it was imperative that he visits the
EFCC. He said there was need for a synergy between the Commission and the NIS
to rid the society of crimes. “We are ready and willing to continue the
existing relationship between NIS and the EFCC,” he said.
The Rivers State Comptroller
was accompanied by other top officers of NIS including GB Dilosi, S.E.
Legglack, both Deputy Comptroller, K. A. Saqiq, Assistant Comptroller, and a
hosts of others.
