President Buhari has instructed that a full investigation be
conducted into how a wanted terrorist was granted a Nigerian Visa in
Lebanon.
Reports say that an official of the Nigerian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs said in Abuja on Tuesday evening, that President Buhari
has directed the Ministry to investigate the circumstances surrounding
the issuance of visa to the wanted terrorist who attempted to fly to
Nigeria.
As we had reported earlier, the radical Muslim cleric, Ahmad al-Assir was arrested by Lebanese authorities as he attempted to travel into Nigeria through Cairo.
According to reports, he was arrested while attempting to travel
with a fake Palestinian passport with a valid Nigerian Visa at the
Beirut’s Rafik Hariri International Airport on Saturday, August 15, 2015
in Lebanon.
The ministry of foreign affairs has been directed to explain how the wanted terrorist was able to get Nigerian Visa.
The source said, “The reported arrest of the wanted terrorist
is a huge embarrassment to Nigeria and the President has directed that
the matter should be investigated. The embassy in Lebanon has been
directed to furnish the ministry with details of how the man got the
visa. The National Intelligence Agency Officer has been directed to
provide details of what happened”.
