The federal government has
included a dead person on its list of Nigerians banned from travelling abroad.
On Saturday, Garba Shehu,
presidential spokesman, announced that at least 50 Nigerians being probed for
alleged corruption have been banned from leaving the country.
He had said the action was to the
effect of the executive order six recently signed by President Muhammadu
Buhari.
But — you wouldn’t believe —
among these Nigerians placed on the watch list seen by The Nation — is Innocent
Umezulike, former chief judge of Enugu state who has been deceased since June.
Interestingly, Umezulike passed
away even before the executive order in question was signed by the president in
July.
The late judge, who was arraigned
in 2017 for alleged corruption, was laid to rest in September.
The federal government had
committed a similar gaffe in December when it appointed five — not one or two —
dead persons into various boards of government agencies and parastatals.
