A government spokesman said on Saturday that 50 high-profile Nigerians have been banned from leaving the country. Although a national daily published it claimed contained the names of the 50 persons affected by the travel ban, Shehu told The Channels on Sunday night that the names of the have not been released to the public. We are not going to issue any list because, again, if we did so, a lot of criticism will follow. The presidential aide said the federal government will not release any list to the public as it would not help matters. “This is a matter in the domain of the (Nigerian) Immigration Service and other security agencies who have the duty of enforcement.”
