President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked comptroller-general of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Martin Abeshi.

Abeshi was sacked on Tuesday May 17th. The sack is reportedly connected with his handling of the recent replacement in the service.

Abeshi was appointed in September 2015 to replace former comptroller general, David Parradang, who was fingered in the tragic 2014 recruitment scandal.
