Immigration queries sexy female officers for #BopDaddyChallenge

Some female officers of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) may have got themselves into trouble by partaking in the viral #BopDaddyChallenge.

The five ladies had appeared in the video challenge which involves appearing in two shots with different attires while Falz’s new hot single, Bop Daddy plays in the background. All the ladies first appeared in their official uniforms and removed their berets before transforming into new evening dresses.

But a statement signed by Iam Haliru, Assistant Comptroller General of the NIS, said that the ladies’ action brought a “lot of embarrassment” to the service.

“The attention of the Comptroller General has been drawn to a video clip trending on the social media in recent times which revealed a rather disturbing and embarrassing display of indecent flaunting of your bodies, desecration of service uniform/beret and the use of inappropriate language, thereby sabotaging the values upheld by the service.

“To state the obvious, your act has caused a lot of embarrassment to the NIS and in line with our standard as a paramilitary organisation, is considered scandalous and an act unbecoming of an officer and therefore a violation of PSR 030401 and 030402. This is a serious misconduct liable to dismissal from service.



“In view of the foregoing, therefore, you are requested to make a representation, if any, within 72 hours on receipt of this letter why disciplinary action should not be taken against you,” the statement read in part.

Corona virus: Reporter challenges Trump over Cuomo praise clip

The US president has raised eyebrows at a White House press briefing by playing a carefully chosen clip of one his most outspoken critics.
In the video footage, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo praised the US federal government's response to the coronavirus outbreak – in contrast to the recent exchange of criticism between him and Donald Trump.

Aso Villa Journalists must self isolate

The Presidency has asked all Journalists who attended the burial of late Chief of Staff, Mallam Abba Kyari to self-isolate for 14 days.

Abba Kyari who died in a Lagos hospital from COVID-19 complications was laid to rest at Gudu cemetery in Abuja on Saturday, April 18 in the presence of friends and family.

The social distancing rule was violated with the throng that showed up at the burial.

However, Attah Esa, Deputy Director of Information in the State House in a statement issued a directive that all Press officers who covered the burial of the late CoS  should undergo self-isolation as a precautionary measure to curtail the spread of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The statement reads: “As a precautionary measure, all State House Correspondents and Media Office Staff who covered/attended the funeral prayer/burial ceremony of the late Chief of Staff, at Defence House and Gudu Cemetery Abuja, respectively, are strongly advised to work from home for the next 14 days.


“Please be careful to observe the recommended measures to prevent coronavirus transmission, including maintaining physical distancing and good personal hygiene going forward.”

This is coming after Presidential Aide Garba Shehu told pressmen to distance themselves from Aso Rock after they were refused entry into the presidential office building.
