Court Reinstates and Promotes Yemi Badru, Orders Nigerian Immigration Service to Pay N1m in Damages

A federal court has ordered the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) to reinstate and promote Mr. Yemi Badru, a senior officer who was unlawfully dismissed in 2023. According to Sahara Reporters, the court found that Badru’s termination was unjustified and violated his fundamental human rights. The court also ordered NIS to pay Badru N1 million in damages. This decision is a significant victory for Badru, who had served the immigration service for over two decades before his controversial dismissal. The case highlights the importance of due process and the protection of citizens’ rights in Nigeria’s public service.
