Nigerian Military Put #endsars Leaders On No-fly List- Immigration by DasaintHope(m): 5:47pm On Nov 04, 2020
A no-fly list is a register of people banned
from boarding commercial aircrafts for
travel within, into, or out of a country.
The Defence Intelligence Agency of the Nigerian
military is behind a no-fly list containing names
of some persons, who took active parts in the
recent #EndSARS protest across the country, a
source at the Nigeria Immigration Service has
told SaharaReporters.
A no-fly list is a register of people banned from
boarding commercial aircrafts for travel within,
into, or out of a country.
A particular case of reference is that of a
lawyer, Modupe Odele, who was prevented by
the NIS from making a trip to the Maldives
where she was billed to celebrate her birthday.
While it was initially thought that the NIS acted
alone in that incident, SaharaReporters has now
confirmed that the names of Odele and other
active participants in the protest were included
on the list by the Defence Intelligence Agency
following their efforts in rallying demonstrators
at the Lekki Toll Gate area of Lagos where
Nigerian Army personnel attacked and killed
several protesters on the evening of October 20,
2020.
“Odele was prevented from travelling as a result
of a memo from the Nigerian military claiming
that they were investigating her.
"The military sent us a no-fly list of EndSARS
leaders especially agitators involved at the
Lekki protest,” the NIS source told
SaharaReporters.
Earlier on Monday, Odele had shared with her
friends how she was stopped by NIS from
travelling out of the country at the Lagos
airport.
She said, “I went to the airport, passed through
immigration, and while I was putting my bags
through the body and baggage scanner, the
immigration officer who had previously cleared
me, called me back. He told me he had orders
from above to detain me.
“Okay, at this point I’m like ‘excuse me, my
flight is in an hour. On what grounds are you
detaining me?’ He didn’t respond. Instead, he
goes to his computer where he typed in my
name and something that looked like a ‘wanted
poster’ popped up on the portal.
“He blocked my view so I couldn’t see most of
it but I saw some of it. And it read something
like – ‘This person is under investigation by XYZ
intelligence agency. If seen, they should be
apprehended on sight."
Odele, during the nationwide protest, offered her
services as a lawyer free of charge to help
release scores of participants arrested and
detained by the police for exercising their rights.
“I’m not a full-time activist or human rights
attorney. I am a corporate lawyer at the
moment so dealing with police stations isn’t my
area of expertise. I did what needed to be done
in the face of gross injustice and had the
support of over 800 wonderful volunteer
lawyers,” she said.
Following the controversy generated by news of
the no-fly list, the Ministry of Interior under
which the NIS falls under on Tuesday quickly
distanced itself from the situation.
In a post on its Twitter handle, the ministry said,
“The Ministry of Interior did not, has not and will
not generate any no-fly list. Ignore fake news,
please!”
The Nigerian Army has since confirmed that its
personnel were invited by the Lagos State
Government to break the peaceful protest at
Lekki Toll Gate after initial denials by the
military and Lagos governor, Babajide Sanwo-
Olu.
Over 10 persons were killed during that incident
with the Nigerian Army personnel taking away at
least eight bodies to conceal the massacre.

Where's the coordination between the various organs of the same government?

Meanwhile the International community is in the process of putting some of the military and their families on visa bans and potential arraignment before the ICC for war crimes.
