The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday said the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Kemi Nandap, is not under investigation over alleged visa racketeering, contrary to media reports linking her to the ongoing visa fraud probe.

The clarification came as the anti-graft agency maintained that its investigation remains focused on some immigration officers accused of alleged visa fraud, with more prosecutions likely as the probe continues.

In a statement by its Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the EFCC described reports linking Nandap to the investigation as inaccurate.

“The Commission wishes to state unequivocally that it has no case with the Immigration CG,” the EFCC said.
