Barely a week after the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), announced that it has restricted Visa issuance to about 24,000 young Nigerians seeking to travel abroad in the past 15 months for fear that they might join ISIS, trouble is developing at the Service as President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered investigations into the granting of Nigerian Visa in Lebanon to a terrorist and chief of ISIS, Ahmed Al Assir, who has been on the wanted list of several governments.

The said Ahmed Al Assir was said to have been arrested at Lebanon Airport on his way to Nigeria through Egypt. The Lebanon judiciary has accused him of involvement in the death of 17 Lebanese soldiers and even sentenced him to death.

The Immigration Service that the rank and file of the Service Headquarters, especially the Immigration boss, Mr. David , are presently anxious about their fate, following the arrest better described as a huge embarrassment to Nigeria and the president who wants indicted officers identified.
