Ohanaeze Youths Accuses Interior Minister of Hijacking Security Agencies' Recruitment
The Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) has accused the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, of hijacking the recruitment processes of security agencies under his ministry. The council, a socio-cultural group representing the interest of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), alleged that the minister has been interfering in the recruitment and promotions of personnel in the Immigration Service, Civil Defence Corps, Correctional Service, and the Federal Fire Service.
