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.

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.

About 6.5million applied for 5,000 immigration jobs, but the conduct of the test in March 2014 led to the death of several applicants during stampede in Abuja, Port Harcourt, Minna.

Each applicant paid a non-refundable application fee of N1, 000.

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.
