President
Goodluck Jonathan Monday summoned the Minister of Interior, Abba Moro and the
Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), David Parradang
to give explanation why the over 19 job seekers had to die during NIS
recruitment exercise at the weekend.
During the
recruitment exercise in cities across the country, among those who died include
Abuja (eight), Port Harcourt (five), Minna (three), and Benin (three). Many of
the job seekers were also injured during the exercise.
The deaths
were said to have occurred due to stampede resulting from poor crowd management
at the centres.
The duo, who
were in the Presidential Villa for over two hours Monday, were led to the
President’s office by the Chief of Staff to President Goodluck Jonathan,
General Jones Arogbofa.
They however
declined comment on the issue when they were led out from the President’s
office by Arogbofa at 2.24pm.
While the
All Progressives Congress (APC) among other stakeholders have condemned the
recruitment method which led to the death of the job seekers, others have
called for the sack of Moro and Parradang over the issue.
