Midastorch:

Blacklisted is not the right word. If he is being investigated and is not detained, he could be on bail, which, if the bail seekers had any sense, would include the surrender of his passport so he can not travel outside the country.

Barring that, he is a free man able to travel wherever he may want to.

Read an example here.

Guess he's served his sentence then, which was rather small, I must say. Doesn't mean he can't now go wherever he wants to though, since that was not included in his sentence.
Supers:
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said it will remove the former Director-General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Dr. Doyin Okupe, from its watchlist following his arrest by the Department of State Security Service at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on Thursday.

An impeccable source at the EFCC confirmed to our correspondent that Okupe had been on the EFCC watchlist for about six years since 2016.

“Dr. Okupe is one of the individuals, groups, or organizations that required close surveillance, for legal reasons. In his case, he has been on our watchlist since 2016.”

Confirming the report in an interview with our correspondent, while reacting to Okupe’s arrest by the DSS and his subsequent transfer to the EFFC, the anti-graft agency’s spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, said the EFCC would take immediate action to remove the former presidential aide from its watchlist.

Uwujaren said, “Concerning the interception of Doyin Okupe; the DSS, today, January 12, informed the Commission of the interception of Dr. Okupe, former presidential adviser, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.

“The Service acted on a watchlist request issued on July 18, 2016, over six years before his recent conviction on money laundering charges by the Federal High Court, Abuja.

“The Commission was in the process of formally lifting the watch list before his interception, and will expedite action in this regard.”

Convicted is the key legal word. The constitution clearly states that anyone convicted of a financial crime cannot serve in any public position for 10 years after his conviction. Now I'm done spoon feeding you

I'm not done spoon feeding you since you obviously have not yet learnt that this thread is not about him serving in any public position.

He was not serving in any public position when he was arrested, which is what this thread is about.

Is he even worth holding any credible position? He performed so bad in GEJ's cabinet, very deceitful individual. No different from other corrupt politicians. Tinubu Atiku etc should be rotting in jail by now if not for the corrupt system.
Which elective office did he hold under GEJ?

Going to UK for medicals, does he want to start a job there? And this are the PDPlite preaching change oh, the gullible don't know it's same same. Okupe, GEJ's attack dog of that year that told us that it is impossible to have new trains in Nigeria.
Was he the minister of transport?

We was a medical doctor that owns an hospital in Nigeria, a special assistant to OBJ and a Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to President Goodluck Jonathan. He of all people should know how to talk to media and what to say. He was more or less GEJ's spokesman and attack dog. The one that says what GEJ means to say but cannot say. Why did he tell us that it is impossible to have new trains in Nigeria?
