The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has arrested one of its assistant comptrollers, Mr. Luka Likita Mutum, for alleged fraud.
Mutum was nabbed for allegedly defrauding people, including lecturers and relations in Jos, Plateau State capital.
A statement yesterday in Abuja by Immigration spokesman Sunday James said: “The attention of Comptroller-General of NIS, Muhammad Babandede, has been drawn to activities of fraudsters, who extort money from the public under the guise of securing employment for them in NIS.
“After statements alerting the public to the need to be wary of such dubious individuals, it is unfortunate innocent citizens are still falling prey. The public should desist from offering money to people for recruitment.
“Immigration has started arresting these dubious elements, who unfortunately include an Assistant Comptroller of Immigration (ACI), Mr. Luka Likita Mutum, who defrauded Nigerians, including lecturers and relations in Jos. He is facing disciplinary measures.
“The public is advised to report any case relating to extortion for recruitment to: [email protected] or call +234(0)7080607900.”
