Immigration to probe extortion at a Nigerian Embassy: Where? How? When ?
November 27, 2017: Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) says it has begun investigation into alleged extortion of passport applicants at Nigerian High Commission in the UK.
Spokesman of the NIS, Mr Sunday James, said this in a statement on Monday.
James, who said the agency’s attention had been drawn to a viral video of some Nigerians protesting against the alleged extortion at the High Commission, added that, “the protesters alleged that some officials of the High Commission are unduly surcharging them for passport issuance.
“It has become necessary to state that payment for passports are done online and so nobody is expected to come to the High Commission with cash, let alone any case of extortion.
