A Nigerian lady, Oluwa Damisi, has publicly criticized the Nigeria Immigration Service after discovering that her passport application form, containing her personal details, was used to wrap akara (bean cakes).
Damisi took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her experience. According to her, she had submitted the form as part of her passport application, but was later shocked when a stranger messaged her on WhatsApp with a picture of the same document being used as wrapping paper.
The slip reportedly contained all her biodata, raising serious concerns about how such private information left the custody of immigration authorities and ended up in public circulation.
Expressing her frustration online, Damisi wrote:
“Omo @nigimmigration @NISResponseNG why is it so easy for someone’s privacy to be breached??! Someone just texted me on WhatsApp with a picture of my passport application slip, and it was used to sell akara.
The slip contains every single information about my life rn
This is not even funny. The guy then asked for my pictures on top 🤦🏽♀️”
Her post has sparked outrage among Nigerians, many of whom are demanding accountability and better data protection from government institutions…
@RowlandJ_nior: “Okay I’m shocked at this one. And I noticed how you played cool with him, just to keep him sane”
@Sam_Olayemi1: “Data breach is not peculiar to Nigeria. Even in the US and Europe, data breach happens. We can simply ask the government agencies to do better without denigrating Nigeria.”
@olatayoadewuyi: “If them explain Nigeria give you, you no fit understand.”
