The Nigerian Government has placed sponsors of the
nationwide #EndBadGovernance protests on a watchlist.
The Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Immigration
Services, NIS, Kemi Nandap, made this known at Defence Headquarters on Tuesday
in Abuja, where she spoke at a strategic meeting convened by the Chief of
Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa.
She said the persons, who are in the Diaspora, would be
arrested immediately they step into the country
Recall that the Defence Chief and heads of intelligence and security agencies were in a closed-door meeting with a view to implementing the crackdown order given by President Bola Tinubu.
Fielding questions from newsmen after the meeting, Nandap
said, “We have Diaspora sponsors, they are on our watchlist. They are
watchlisted, any attempt they make to come into the country, we’ll be notified
and they will be picked up and handed to the appropriate authority.”
According to her, the Immigration Service has, in response
to the protests, deployed more officers to land borders and airports to ensure
effective manning of the country’s entry and exit points.
She stressed that the agency has also stepped up
surveillance to prevent foreign intervention in the country.
The Director-General Department of State Services, DSS,
Yusuf Bichi, on his part, said the agency had unmasked some sponsors. But he
declined giving further information.
Bichi, who was represented at the meeting by the DSS’
spokesman, Peter Afunanya, said some bank accounts had already been blocked.
He added that some of the persons operating the accounts are
staying abroad and they were being monitored.
