Former Minister of Interior, Mr. Abba Moro, was again at the Economic Governance Unit of the EFCC on Thursday for questioning over last year’s Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, recruitment tragedy.
The former minister, who arrived the commission by 11 am on Thursday, was allowed to leave around 4.20pm after being interrogated by operatives of the agency.
A top operative of the commission told Punch that Moro was asked to go on administrative bail after the interrogation on Tuesday and was directed to return on Thursday for a continuation of the exercise.
The source said, “The former Minister of Interior, Mr. Abba Moro, returned to the commission on Thursday.
“You know that the man came here on Tuesday and was asked to return on Thursday and he kept his word.
“He came by 11 am and left the office after his interrogation by 4.20 pm.”
The report said that the anti-graft agency was still continuing with the investigation into the recruitment which led to the death of 19 Nigerians across the country.
The EFCC had reopened investigations into the NIS recruitment scandal with the interrogation of the immediate past Comptroller General of Customs, Mr. David Paradang, on September 15, 2015.
EFCC spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed to the newspaper that Moro was at the commission to keep his appointment with the operatives but would not say anything further.
“Yes. It is true that he came today,” he said.
