Buhari Bans 50 High-profile Nigerians From Travelling by yns4real: 3:27pm On Oct 13, 2018
The presidency has just circulated the statement below announcing the placement of 50 high-profile Nigerians on travelling restrictions.

The individuals, whose identities were not disclosed, include those whose assets, valued at N50million and above, are subject of corruption investigation and litigation.

The statement by presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, said the measure is part of the implementation of Executive Order Number 6 which seeks to ensure “that all assets within a minimum value of N50 million or equivalent, subject to investigation or litigation are protected from dissipation by employing all available lawful means, pending the final determination of any corruption-related matter.”

Mr Shehu added that the financial transactions of these persons of interest are also being monitored by relevant agencies to ensure the assets are not dissipated and that such persons do not interfere with,investigation and litigation processes.

READ FULL STATEMENT BELOW

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT BUHARI DIRECTS IMPLEMENTATION OF EO 6 IN FULL FORCE
[b][/b]

Following the instant judicial affirmation of the constitutionality and legality of the Executive Order 6 (EO6), President Muhammadu Buhari has mandated the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Minister of Justice to implement the Order in full force.

To this end, a number of enforcement procedures are currently in place by which the Nigeria Immigration Service and other security agencies have placed no fewer than 50 high profile persons directly affected by EO6 on watch-list and restricted them from leaving the county pending the determination of their cases.

Also, the financial transactions of these persons of interest are being monitored by the relevant agencies to ensure that the assets are not dissipated and such persons do not interfere with, nor howsoever corrupt the investigation and litigation processes.

It is instructive to note that EO6 was specifically directed to relevant law enforcement agencies to ensure that all assets within a minimum value of N50 million or equivalent, subject to investigation or litigation are protected from dissipation by employing all available lawful means, pending the final determination of any corruption-related matter.

The Buhari administration reassures all well-meaning and patriotic Nigerians of its commitment to the fight against corruption, in accordance with the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and the general principles of the Rule of Law.

Accordingly, this administration will uphold the rule of law in all its actions and the right of citizens would be protected as guaranteed by the Constitution.

We, therefore, enjoin all Nigerians to cooperate with the law enforcement authorities towards ensuring a successful implementation of the Executive Order 6 which is a paradigm-changing policy of the Federal Government in the fight against corruption.

Garba Shehu

Senior Special Assistant to the President

Somebody give my able President a round of Applause. I just love the lion heart in this man.

No bagger will ever loot from this country.

Every tax defaulter must pay

Every looter must vomit

Every thief must be brought to book

This is how it is done in western nations like USA. You cannot rob the government and go free.

Abeg baba lock dem down. Nothing do you.

Nigeria must work again

Those who were crying that he does not uphold the rule of law, now this is baba Buhari upholding the rule of law in full force. HOPE YOU LIKE IT NOW grin

2019 SAI BABA.

No place for corrupt individuals in this country. Haters can hang oo.
All those wey steal our money must vomit am by crook or by hook. Dem think say na play. The Era of stealing our money and using it to buy our youths is gradually going to an end. If constitutional laws can't help us in this country, it's high time we took the Decree path. If you can't cope please go to Benin republic.

This fascist dullard with criminal incompetence is bringing 1984 back all over again. He intends to restrict unconvicted people and ban them from accessing their properties.

There is a reason why this uneducated thug has always been a career coupist.

A leopard can never change its spots. A man who has tremendous disregard for the court of law rushing to seek its protection when it suits him.

Hahahaha.

Edit: Read the ruling by the court- https://www.tribuneonlineng.com/168505/ It places no restriction on personal movement but the coupist is always looking for an opportunity to be a coupist.

Okay na.

The court will get busy soon.

I remember when they came up with mandating banks to move all monies without BVN.

Who knows how that ended.

We look forward to seeing the list.

Let it start with
Tinubu
Oshiomole
Abba Kyari
Malami.
