The Nigeria Immigration Service has said it will require either a court order or an order by an interior minister to stop any official from leaving the country.

The NIS was responding to an enquiry by our correspondent following the revelation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that it was collaborating with other security agencies to prevent some governors, ministers and commissioners accused of corruption from fleeing the country after May 29.

The spokesperson for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, in a statement recently said some officials had perfected plans to flee the country. He noted however that the EFCC was collaborating with its foreign partners to frustrate the plans of such governors and politicians.

Former governors under the commission’s probe included Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State and Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, while governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi, is also said to be on the commission’s watch list. Already, some of his relatives have been dragged to court by the EFCC.

“The commission is working with sister security agencies to ensure that the ex-governors and ministers that are being probed for corruption don’t escape after May 29,” the source said.

In his response to our correspondent’s enquiry on the development, the spokesperson for the NIS, Anthony Akuneme said, “We can only stop these people from flying out of the country if there is a court injunction asking us to stop them from leaving, or if there is an order by the Minister of Interior flagging such persons from flying out of the country.

Meanwhile, Uwujaren had said, “We are doing our investigations covertly. The ones that were made known only came out because it was necessary. It is not in our style to make our investigations public until they are concluded.”

Earlier, the EFCC said it was investigating Matawalle on allegations of corruption, award of phantom contracts and diversion of over N70bn. The commission said it was compelled to make the ongoing investigation public following his recent attempt to cast aspersions on the integrity of the agency.

Also, the EFCC is probing the Kogi State governor for alleged corruption, including over 14 properties both in Nigeria and abroad and N400m, among other allegations.

Fayemi, who left office in October 2022, is also under investigation over allegations of N4bn money laundering. He was on Thursday questioned at the zonal command office of the commission in Ilorin, Kwara State.

#Who_Cursed_Southerners?

In this Nigeria, an average Southerner is a weakling. A born coward with serious complex issues. A fool and an idiot. A slave. A typical example of a butterfly who thinks himself a bird. But this is not even the problem. The biggest problem is, he doesn't even realise he is any of those things.

The only thing an average Southerner is good at is blowing high sounding grammar and acquiring degrees upon degrees but when it comes to things that matter most, he goes to slumber.

An average Southerner has this twisted mindset that the best way to be seen as a patriotic and detribalised Nigerian is by degrading, shaming and disparaging his own tribe for no just cause.

Abacha stole this country blind, such that 20 years after, his loot is still being returned to the country. But in spite of this, people like Buhari publicly swore that he (Abacha) stole nothing. But to an average Southern idiot, Jonathan's 5 year rule is the reason we have no fuel, no light, no good educational system, no nothing! Jonathan is the worst thief in Nigeria's history. IBB, Abdulsalam and even Buhari who was accused of stealing billions of dollars as PTF boss were all saints. Why? Because they are Northerners.

Was it not a southern he-goat named Obasanjo who publicly accused Jonathan of training snipers in Pyongyang (North Korea) ahead of last year's election?? He made the unfounded allegation just to please his masters upnorth. Now that we have the highest figure of senseless deaths of civilians in the hands of both state and non state actors under a Northern president Buhari, have you read any letter from OBJ??

When Shiites were massacred in Zaria, it took less than 48 hours for Chidi Odinkalu of the National Human Right Commission to establish a commission of inquiry and summon the army chief but when unarmed IPOB members praying in a school field in Aba were murdered by the security agents, did you hear even a loosely worded condemnation from Chidi Odinkalu??

Check out the list of those asking that Fayose to be tried for treason for writing to the Chinese govt over Buhari's $2 loan, they are 80% southerners. And most of them have not even read the said Fayose letter at least to know the reasons Fayose adduced in the said letter. These are the same fools who kept mum when Sango Abdullahi, Sani Kaita and some so called Northern elders publicly threatened to make the country ungovernable if power wasn't returned to the North. When Buhari made his 'dogs and baboon' speech and directly caused the death of southern youth corpers, these morons kept mum.

With all the numberless killing of civilians under this regime and its open support for the genocide the world fourth deadliest terror group (the Fulani militant) has continue to visit on Nigerians, have these highly educated southerners bothered to write a strongly worded petition to the ICC just like Nyako, El-rufai and other northerners did to Jonathan??

These southern fools will gleefully yell 'Kanu should rot in jail, he was preaching hate on radio Biafra!' But these clowns maintained sealed lips over the hateful and inciting broadcast by 'Radio Chanji' and Arewa Radio upNorth. Such is the degree of the soulless hypocrisy of these southern senseless hypocrites.

These nitwits were on rooftops telling us how incompetent and corrupt Jonathan was and how his removal was a patriotic duty. Today, things have all gone worse under Buhari and you would think that these southern imbeciles would be at the forefront calling for Buhari's resignation but no! They are the ones defending the Daura born ex-soldier even against the worse things for which they crucified Jonathan then.

Now I know why Jonathan appeared weak as president and spent his 5 year term trying to please the North.

He knew he had nobody behind him. He knew that we Southerners are weaklings only good at blowing high sounding but empty grammar.

These 'efulefu' southerners will never question why Buhari has never condemned the murderous activities of his fulani kinsmen but these same 'anumpamas' will read this post and quickly tag me a bigot.

Slaves who think themselves masters!!
