Interior Interior Minister Abba Moro has denied responsibility for the deaths of reportedly over a dozen job applicants at the Nigeria Immigration Service exam centres across the country yesterday. While monitoring the exercise yesterday in Jos, Moro disclosed that only 4,556 would be recruited at the end of the exercise, based on the available space. Then about the dead, More said: “The applicants lost their lives due to impatience; they did not follow the laid down procedures spelt out to them before the exercise. Many of them jumped through the fences of affected centres and did not conduct themselves in an orderly manner to make the exercise a smooth one. This caused stampede and made the environment unsecured.”
