The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 election, Omoyele Sowore, has disclosed that the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has barred him from leaving the country because his name is on their watchlist.
Sowore disclosed this in a statement and video shared on his X account on Friday.
He stated that he was being subjected to harassment and violation of his rights.
He wrote, “The Nigerian Immigration Service #nigimmigration continues to subject me to unwarranted harassment and abuse. Violating my rights repeatedly.
“Today, again, they stopped me on my way out of Nigeria, claiming I am placed on their WATCHLIST!”
The video showed Sowore questioning an officer of the Immigration Service, requesting to see their superior.
