The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), on Friday approved disciplinary actions against 31 officers of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) for various acts of misconduct.
The Service Public Relations Officer, Assistant Comptroller of Immigration (ACI), Akinsola Akinlabi, who made this disclosure through a statement issued on Friday in Abuja, said that the decision followed the review of recommendations of the board from its Disciplinary and General-Purpose Committee (BDGPC), which met on July 11, 2025.
According to him, the sanctions underscore the board’s resolve to enforce discipline, integrity, and accountability within the Services under its supervision.
“Eight officers were dismissed for serious misconduct and violation of Service Regulations, while five others were compulsorily retired for offences bordering on misconduct.
“Additionally, eight officers were demoted by one rank, and five were issued written warning letters.
“The board also reviewed appeals by two dismissed officers but upheld their dismissal after finding no merit in their cases.
“However, one officer was reinstated following a successful appeal, while two others were exonerated of all charges,” he said.
