The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) has again directed the former Minister of Interior, Mr. Abba Moro,
to report to its Economic Governance Unit, on Thursday (today), in relation to
the investigation into the tragic Nigeria Immigration Service’s Recruitment of
May 2014 that resulted in the death of 19 applicants.
A top operative of the commission
revealed to the media that a team of investigators handling the case of the
former minister directed him to report at the commission’s headquarters on
Thursday because his interrogation was not concluded on Tuesday.
The former minister was interrogated
by the operatives of the commission over the conduct of the recruitment tragedy
on Tuesday.
The source said, “The ex-minister
was given an administrative bail on Tuesday but was asked to return on Thursday
for a continuation of the process. It is obvious that they were not through
with him.
“He was released in the evening on
Tuesday on administrative bail. He is expected to report to the commission for
a continuation of the interrogation on Thursday.”
The team of investigators, who
interviewed Paradang, focused on the conduct of the failed recruitment and how
N600m extorted from the applicants in 2014 was spent.
It was gathered that top officials
of the Ministry of Interior and the Civil Defence, Fire, Prison Services
Boards, who conducted the interviewed, declared N45m as the money collected
from the job seekers.
It was learnt that Paradang’s
testimony before the commission, in which he exonerated himself of
responsibility for the conduct of the exercise, made the commission to expand
the scope of the investigation.
