The Nigeria Immigration Service’s Comptroller General, Mrs. Kemi Nandap, announced that it has added the Diaspora sponsors of the #EndBadGovernance protesters to its watchlist.
Nandap warned that those on the watchlist would face arrest upon entering the country, without mentioning specific names.
She said this at a meeting of heads of security agencies and service chiefs in Abuja on Tuesday.
Nandap said: “We have diaspora sponsors; they are on our watchlist. They are watchlisted; any attempt they make to come into the country, we will be notified, and they will be picked up and handed to the appropriate authority.”
The immigration boss said the Service has, in response to the protest, deployed more officers to the borders, both land and airports, to ensure effective manning of those entry points.
Nandap announced that the Service has intensified surveillance efforts to thwart foreign interference in the country’s affairs.
Meanwhile, the Director-General of the Department of State Services, Mr. Yusuf Bichi, said the agency has identified some sponsors but refrained from providing additional details.
The DG, represented by Public Relations Officer Dr. Peter Afunanya, said certain accounts have been blocked, and some individuals operating the accounts are based overseas, with their activities being closely monitored.
