The 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has accused the Nigerian Immigration Service of harassing him at the airport.
Sowore accused Immigration of attempting to prevent him from leaving Nigeria because his name is on their watchlist.
He disclosed this in a statement posted on his X page accompanied by a video.
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!”
