Corrupt former Governor Lucky Igbinedion of Edo State may no longer enter the US, SaharaReporters has discovered from sources in Washington, DC.
One of the sources revealed that the American consular authorities had written to Mr. Igbinedion to tell him that he was no longer welcome in the US.
Another source indicated that the former governor, who has been convicted for corrupt practices shortly after his governorship term, had multiple entry visas to the US. "However, he has received a letter revoking his visa," said one source.
Mr. Igbinedion was a two-term governor in Edo State where he looted the treasury mindlessly, according to documents gathered by the EFCC.
Our source in Washington, DC disclosed that the US government was reviewing the files of some of Nigeria's current and former government officials and will deny them visas once they are deemed undesirable on account of their engagement in corruption.

Thank you America! I wish other countries do same. This will at least prevent them from running abroad after embezelling public funds.
ReplyDeleteYet they move about freely in Nigeria. Look @ Ibori for example and mark my words...he would be given a grand reception the day he returns home. Shameless politians and blind followers. PH dude
ReplyDeleteYes, prevent them from running abroad, but will your court try and punish them?
