The Nigerian government has ordered a full investigation into how a wanted terrorist was granted Nigerian Visa in Lebanon to visit the country.
An official of the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign affairs told Vanguard in Abuja, Tuesday evening, that President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to investigate the circumstances surrounding the issuance of Visa to the wanted terrorist‎ who has been on the wanted list of several governments.

It would be recalled that a radical Muslim cleric, Ahmad al-Assir was arrested by Lebanese authorities as he attempted to leave Lebanon to Nigeria via Cairo.

He was said to have arrested while attempting to travel with a fake Palestinian passport with a valid Nigerian Visa‎ at the Beirut’s Rafik Hariri International Airport early Saturday, August 15, 2015 in Lebanon.

According to the official of the ministry of foreign affairs who spoke with Vanguard on the condition of anonymity, the ministry of foreign affairs has been directed to explain how the wanted terrorist was able to get Nigerian Visa.

“The reported‎ arrest of the wanted terrorist is a huge embarrassment to Nigeria and the President has directed that the matter should be investigated. The embassy in Lebanon has been directed to furnish the ministry with details of how the man got the visa. The National Intelligence Agency Officer has been directed to provide details of what happened” the officer said.
Details later…

I WILL!

Another Bad News to PDP.... Sai Baba just clearing doubt

Go on my president! everything shutdown.

ISIS has a branch in Borno state

How can he probe people who opened door for his "August" visitor

We are waiting to hear the lies.

Apparently because he used a fake Palestinian passport. Emphasis should be to find out if the Nigerian embassy had the capacity to detect such fake application documents, why did he chose Nigeria and if it has to do with our Boko headache,how many of such category of high risk people have already escaped to Nigeria

Buhari keeps fooling himself

I don't blame him cos he is getting away with it

But World leaders will not be fooled!

ISIS leader will not attempt to flee to Nigeria if he does not believe he will be protected!

Probably because NIS is a sham


They have technology but most officials are unqualified

And whoever issued it in Lebanon is an asshole

You are very dumb who said anything about fleeing

Did it occur to you that maybe he's trying to get here to help Boko Haram?


Yes it's easy to sneak into Nigeria, but it's easier to taunt Nigeria

Just take a good look at the rubbish you wrote. Are you this daft ?

ISWAP is coming to Southwest very soon.

Serious?

Odikwa very serious. This probe must be thorough, and must involve house sweeping as well, to expose everything hiding under the carpet.

I am rather interested in finding out when the visa was issued and who higher up authorised the issuance;I have a theory that the answers to these 2 questions would unravel another dark chapter into how things were done in the past by people that clearly were never competent to rule us in the first place and never also wished to see Nigeria progress.
Just a theory though but one I have a feeling might be close to the truth if the probe is thoroughly carried out.

Apparently because he used a fake Palestinian passport of course.

That's the point.I bliv he may not have been d first suspicious foreigner to have had our visa issued to.
His using a Palestinian passport is secondary.Usually, background security checks are carried out on passport applicants from terrorist and other security hotspots, that's part of the reason there is a national intelligence agency officer attached to Nigerian embassies.
I may be wrong,but I don't think this was an oversight due to his use of a Palestinian passport,I think someone higher up either gave him express approval or was able to give him necessary insights on how to beat the security checks to get a Nigerian visa.Call it a conspiracy theory,but d kind of horrible things that are coming out on our recent past and the stark evidence of how even pious and well respected clergy have been compromised to defend the nauseating shenanigans of d past makes me to bliv,nothing is too dark to have stoked the moral conscience of some.
