We cannot do that when you collect money at the border. We cannot do that when you stop at checkpoints and take tax from the people. It is not going to work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis country cannot progress when we take corruption as an issue in our life. Unless we remove it, we will not get success, and I don\u2019t see a disciplined force in you. So, I\u2019m going to scatter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/06\/13\/13-year-old-boy-arrested-for-killing-bandits-in-katsina\/\">Katsina<\/a>. I think some of you have stayed for a long time, that\u2019s why we are having these problems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have received reports of several checkpoints where you collect money, I don\u2019t know who you give the money to. I don\u2019t see the money in Abuja. I want to find out if the money is going to the zonal coordinator or to the comptrollers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there is anybody tasking you, let him know we cannot compromise, because once you collect money at the checkpoints, you have compromised security, and anything can pass. In short, you will not even check anything. I\u2019m going to work with the traditional institutions today to engage them to help us detect any person (irregular). When they detect it, you can collect bribe and you will see the consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of you know where the migrants are. You will just go and collect from them. Enough is enough. We cannot allow our country to go down because of useless forces. If law enforcement continues to collect bribe to compromise work, this country will be compromised.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comptroller-general of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Muhammed Babandede has cautioned officers of the agency to desist from receiving bribes or face severe sanctions.
