The Nigeria Immigration Service has revoked the passports of all former governors and ministers issued to them during their tenure.
The Comptroller-General of the Immigration Service, Martin Abeshi, said this in a statement on Monday, The Cable reports.
The NIS also instructed former senators, ex-House of Representatives members, ex-special advisers, retired heads of government agencies, former members of state Houses of Assembly and retired public servants to submit their passports
The statement read in part,
“These categories of persons are hereby informed that these passports which were previously held by them have been revoked and should return them to the Nigeria Immigration Service Headquarters Sauka Abuja with immediate effect.
“Failure to comply with this directive will amount to an offence under the Immigration Act 2015. Such unauthorized possession will be impounded at our control posts on arrival or departure.”
Ok,,its due process,,they are no longer in office so I see no reasons why they need all this heavy security..
