The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday detained a former Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro, a former Permanent Secretary and a director over N650million immigration recruitment scandal.
Reports have it that the scandal involved each applicant paying a non-refundable N1000 application fee which about 6.5million applied for.
The three suspects were re-invited by the EFCC ahead of their arraignment in court on Tuesday.
The fate of a former Comptroller-General of Nigerian Immigration Service, Mr. David Parradang, was however unknown.
Although Moro recently blamed the former Immigration boss for the incidents, those loyal to Parradang had earlier traced the tragedy to Moro and his alleged business partners.
Recall that the conduct of the immigration test in March 2014 led to the death of several applicants during stampede in Abuja, Port Harcourt, Minna where millions were shortlisted for about 5,000 immigration jobs.
Abba Moro’s served as the Director General of the David Mark Campaign organization.
