EFCC Quizzes Abba Moro Over NIS Recruitment Saga

A former Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro is reported to have been interrogated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over the tragedy that rocked the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS recruitment on March 15, 2014.  Following an invitation to respond to allegations of fraud in the recruitment process which ended tragically with 16 deaths, TheCable reports that he arrived the Abuja office of the anti-graft agency on Monday morning.

The unfortunate recruitment test which was written last year attracted 6.5 million applicants, 700,772 of whom paid N1000 each as online registration fee for 4,000 vacant positions. Questions were raised over the N700 million generated by the consultant through online registration fee and why adequate measures were not taken to prevent overcrowding and stampede at the test centres.
