BREAKING: Buhari Bans 50 High Profile Persons From Leaving The Country
President Muhammadu Buhari, Saturday ordered security agencies to place high profile Nigerians who are directly affected by the Executive Order 6, under watch list.
In a statement disclosed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity Mr. Gabar Shehu, President Buhari gave directives to the Nigeria Immigration Service to place embargo on those who are affected from travelling outside the country.
Read the full statement below:
PRESIDENT BUHARI DIRECTS IMPLEMENTATION OF EO 6 IN FULL FORCE
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.

Buhari has no idea of a constitutional government. How can you abridge the constitutional rights of a citizen without probable cause and a nigerian trained judge saw nothing wrong with such an executive order? May I know which is supreme, an executive order or the constitution? Please give us Biafra and let us exit from this Devil’s Rectangle known as Nigeria.

You can’t infringe on their fundamental rights of freedom of movement ok. Stop witch-hunting your political opponents in disguise of fighting corruption. Your wicked dictatorship cum excess power must soon come to an end. You will soon be tamed!!! And this your excess power, your dictatorial order which is in gross violation of human rights must be challenged in the court and must be quashed.
