Afropop singer and rapper, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has petitioned the Comptroller-General of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Muhammed Babandede, over the transfer of five female NIS officers who participated in the #BopDaddy challenge.
TheNewsGuru recalls that Falz began the challenge to promote his single ‘Bop Daddy’. To join the challenge, participants dance and flip dresses after covering their phone camera.
Five NIS officers – Priscilla Irabor, Catherine Bakura, Blessing Udida, Binti Attabor, and Ockiya Eneni – took part in the challenge and were transferred to Borno, Yobe, Kano and other states as part of the service’s disciplinary measures against them.
Assistant Comptroller-General, Iam Haliru, in a memo dated May 12, 2020, stated that the women would not be given any relocation allowance and must resume at their new duty posts within seven days despite a ban on interstate travel currently in place.
On Friday, 15th of May 2020,Falz shared pictures of his petitions to Mr Babandede on Twitter.
He wrote:”Hi @nigimmigrationI have sent a letter to the Comptroller-General of the NIS concerning the #Immigration5 Please treat as urgent cc@babandedemb
