FG orders seizure of passports from ex Nigerians

The Federal Government has ordered the Nigeria Immigration Service to immediately withdraw and deactivate passports held by Nigerians who have formally renounced their citizenship. Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji Ojo gave the directive to the NIS, targeting people whose renunciation requests have already been approved by the President. This means they can no longer legally hold or use Nigerian passports once the process is completed. His media aide Alao Babatunde said the order is based on Section 29 subsections 1 and 2 of the 1999 Constitution as amended, which states that any Nigerian of full age can renounce citizenship by making a formal declaration, and that the person ceases to be a citizen once the President registers that declaration. Tunji Ojo explained that anyone who has lost Nigerian citizenship is no longer entitled to any sovereign document of the state, […]

Police dismiss viral Abuja terror alert arrest video maker

The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed a viral video claiming there was an ongoing terrorist attack in Abuja, describing it as false and aimed at causing panic. Force Public Relations Officer DCP Anthony Placid said no such incident took place in the Federal Capital Territory and warned that the video was entirely misleading and malicious. He explained that preliminary investigations showed the clip was edited from different online footage to create a fake terror alert designed to incite fear and undermine confidence in security in the nation’s capital. Police operatives have arrested one Pam Joseph in connection with producing and circulating the video, following credible intelligence and digital forensic investigations that linked him to the content. Placid stressed that while citizens have the right to free expression, that right does not cover deliberate misinformation that can threaten public peace and […]
