Nigerian Activist Oluwaseun Ayodeji Osowobi pours out her anger as five female officers of the Nigeria Immigration Service are under fire for “indecent dressing and sabotage” for joining the BopDaddy Instagram challenge as shown in this video
According to the Office of the Deputy Comptroller General, they “desecrated” the uniform and should be released from duty.
The query letter sent by the immigration service office says the attention of the Comptroller General has been drawn to the video clip trending on social media, it revealed a rather disturbing and embarrassing display of indecent flaunting of bodies desecration of Service uniform/beret and the use of Inappropriate language thereby, sabotaging the values upheld by the Service, to state the obvious, that their act has caused a lot of embarrassment to the NIS and in line with their standard as a paramilitary organization is considered scandalous and an act unbecoming of an Officer and therefore a violation of PSR 030401 and 030402. This is a serious misconduct liable to dismissal from the Service, the letter added that in view of the foregoing, the officers are requested to make a representation, if any, within 72 hours on receipt of the letter, to show why disciplinary action should not be taken against them.
Oluwaseun Ayodeji sees the action taken by the Nigeria Immigration Service as
a gentle reminder that Nigeria is built on violating women’s rights and agency! She said What kind of sexist Public Service Law frames see this as “immoral behaviour.”
Nigerian actress Stella Damasus reacted in a rather subtle manner, she said:
"I had prepared a speech but let me just leave it alone. I need the full video so I can post and celebrate these beautiful women. Clear case of misplaced priority on the part of this agency"
Why would they be queried? This video is impressive. It shows how proud they are with their job. Moreso, their roles place them at the international gateway for our country. What they've done is beautiful

Your job must give you Fame, Fun & Fortune, otherwise, it's but servitude".
Mamuzo said:
"The NIS could have used this video as a PR material. This video could pass as a message that despite them being member of a paramilitary service, they are humans and as such deliver their duties in the best humanly form. But nah, the leaders are deliberately dull"
Falz the owner of the Blop daddy song and inventor of the Instagram challenge is yet to speak out.
