No fewer than 3,964 Nigerians are currently on the watch list of the Nigeria Immigration Service.

The names of the affected individuals, it was gathered, have been placed with security agencies at the nation’s international airports where they will be arrested on sight.

According to the 2020 NIS annual report suspect index, 308 persons were placed on the watch list in 2019, 166 in 2020, while 51 persons were stop-listed in two years.

No fewer than 3, 438 passports are also being watch, while 23 are on the exemption list.

The report states, “Suspect index reviews and maintains the list of persons whose entry into Nigeria is prohibited or on whom special instructions are in place with respect to entry and departure from Nigeria. The travel documents are the instruments used to achieve this objective through synergy with other law enforcement agencies and court of competent jurisdiction.”

In a related development, the NIS has revoked 149, 875 stolen or lost passports and uploaded them to Interpol’s Stolen and Lost Travel Documents database via the Web Services for Data Management platform.

Meanwhile, there are indications that the FG may not meet its 2021 revenue projection from NIS services.

Findings show that there might be revenue shortfall from visa; e-PASS, ECOWAS Residence Card, the Combined Expatriate Residence Permit and Aliens Card and other documents issued by the NIS due to the reduced number of foreign visitors and expatriates in the country following COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Immigration sources said the number of Italians, Britons, South Africans, Chinese, Indians, and other Asians, who constitute a large percentage of expatriates in the country, had reduced on account of travel restrictions imposed by their respective countries.

The erstwhile Comptroller-General of Immigration, Muhammad Babandede had said the service recorded a 40 per cent revenue shortfall in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Figures from the NIS showed that in 2018, the immigration service generated N20.3bn from CERPAC; N40.7bn in 2019, and N16.7bn in 2020

With this statistics, after the 2019 Elections, many Nigerians moved out of the country...knowing Buhari's 2nd tenure will be disastrous.

Everyone is just leaving.

The same story every year yet no action.

Dullard is using the issuance of an important travel and identity document as a tool of political control.

Zainab have you seen what your illiterate uncle is doing?

Hmmm

Nearly



Me and my goons nearly made 30million someday s ago through this... but when I discovered it was a trap...I told them to disengage...they hated me...but this morning everyone is calling me to say thank you..



The FG will so make life miserable for the innocent culprits


We move

Only?

ProudBornoBoy:
Everyone is just leaving.

Dey there na

Hmm

Mm this is absurd

Very Good development.

This is the CHANGE we voted for.

Sane Nigerians, don't be surprised to still see some children of hate, frustrations and perdition wail about this.
Wailing children of permanent hatred and stupidity will still wail about this.
All they want in their miserable lives is deaths, sorrow and blood.
Anything that will bring peace and tranquility to out land or bring sponsors of violence to book is what these sets of online miscreants are always against.
Anuofias, werey 100%!

Not many will be linked to terrorism or drugs in that list... I forsee a good number of Doctors and Healthcare professionals making up the bulk of that list.

So how can one access the list?

Incredulous political witch hunt... Vidionless administration with positive economic drives for the country.

Rather members of the present terrorist-laden FG should be the one that should be arrested anywhere seen across the world because they are the terrorists in government.What nonsense!

Bbb

If you can leave Nigeria don't come back till, Nigeria has divided. Shalom.

Publish their names

Hmmmmmmm....
