A former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd), 13 former governors and seven ex- ministers have been barred from travelling out of the country under Executive Order 6 (EO6) issued yesterday by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The restriction followed the judicial affirmation of the constitutionality and legality of the Executive Order 6 (EO6).

The watch-list and restriction were put in place pending the conclusion of the cases against those affected.

Also on the watch list seen last night by The Nation are: ex-governors Saminu Turaki (Jigawa), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Adebayo Alao-Akala (Oyo), Gabriel Suswam (Benue), Rasheed Ladoja (Oyo), Orji Uzor Kalu (Abia), Danjuma Goje (Gombe), Attahiru Bafarawa (Sokoto), Muazu Babangida Aliyu (Niger); Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu); Sule Lamido (Jigawa); Gbenga Daniel (Ogun); and Ibrahim Shehu Shema (Katsina).

The ex-ministers are Nenadi Usman, Bashir Yuguda, Jumoke Akinjide; Bala Mohammed; Abba Moro; Femi Fani-Kayode; and Ahmadu Fintiri.

Others include a former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh; ex- Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral A. D. Jibrin; a former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Mohammed Dikko Umar; a former Inspector-General of Police, Sunday Ehindero; and a former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu; Chairman Emeritus of AIT/ Raypower, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi; Waripamowei Dudafa (a former Special Assistant (Domestic) to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan); a former Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice Innocent Umezulike; a former judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia;

Also on the list are a former National Publicity Secretary of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh; Chief Jide Omokore; Ricky Tarfa; and Dele Belgore (SAN).

Most of the affected persons are currently facing trial for alleged corrupt practices in different courts.
The list was generated from cases and proceedings filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), the Nigeria Police, and 17 other agencies.
The document indicated that many of those affected had earlier been placed on similar legal restrictions by the courts and security agencies including restriction of movement, seizure of passport, temporary forfeiture of assets, freezing of accounts and others.

Explaining the government’s action in a statement yesterday, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), Mallam Garba Shehu said: “Following the instant judicial affirmation of the constitutionality and legality of the Executive Order 6 (EO6), President Muhammadu Buhari has mandated the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Minister of Justice to implement the Order in full force.

“To this end, a number of enforcement procedures are currently in place by which the Nigeria Immigration Service and other security agencies have placed no fewer than 50 high profile persons directly affected by EO6 on watch-list and restricted them from leaving the country pending the determination of their cases.

“Also, the financial transactions of these persons of interest are being monitored by the relevant agencies to ensure that the assets are not dissipated and such persons do not interfere with, nor howsoever corrupt the investigation and litigation processes.

“It is instructive to note that EO6 was specifically directed to relevant law enforcement agencies to ensure that all assets within a minimum value of N50 million or equivalent, subject to investigation or litigation are protected from dissipation by employing all available lawful means, pending the final determination of any corruption-related matter.
“The Buhari administration reassures all well-meaning and patriotic Nigerians of its commitment to the fight against corruption, in accordance with the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and the general principles of the Rule of Law.

“Accordingly, this administration will uphold the rule of law in all its actions and the right of citizens would be protected as guaranteed by the Constitution.
“We, therefore, enjoin all Nigerians to cooperate with the law enforcement authorities towards ensuring a successful implementation of the Executive Order 6 which is a paradigm-changing policy of the Federal Government in the fight against corruption.”

A top government official, who spoke in confidence, said there is no cause for alarm on E06.
The source said: “The ban is not different from the conditions given by the court in granting these accused persons bail. The E06 is like a codification of steps to prevent those on trial for alleged corrupt practices from tampering with assets.

“Some of these accused persons used to go to court for permission before they can travel out of the country. The E06 is not a new thing but instead of all agencies working at cross-purposes, a list was generated and backed with the Executive Order.
“Some of those on trial, especially the Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) had been selling their assets. What will they return after being convicted?”

Let's do a Full work !

What he did in 1984. Let's see how far he will go this time around.

How can you ban someone that has not been convicted by a court of law from travelling.
Any person with a commonsense should know this act is utter bu llshit.
The judge that affirmed the order is a quack for affirming something he/she didn't have an understanding of.
Hope a higher judge with commonsense would overturn it if challenged now that people have seen how it wants to be used.

This was an I'll advised decision. It will only bolster their resolve to gang up and work against him during the election.

It will even be better for Buhari if these people left Nigeria and return after the elections.

Buhari hasn't shown any sign of tact since the inception of his administration. The cabal of clannish boneheads that do most of the thinking and decision on his behalf has been the bane of this government from day one.

The enforcer of this Executive Order 6 should work in accordance with the law of the law & seek the backing of the courts when enforcing the order

Lifeless dullard...
your days are numbered...
we will atikulate you to daura come 2019 by GOD grace.
for now,you can do as you like.

Funny how this list is filled largely with northerners and even the Orji Uzor Kalu that has declared support for the PMB admin and is an APC member.

To the guy a few comments above me: These people on the list can not bolster anything has many of them are of little or zero political importance and have no electoral value. Even the ones that had prior to their trials have been abandoned by their party members and associates and have been left to face their own "business".
Others were just appointees who took advantage of their offices loot this country of our resources and plummet us into retrogression and recession.

Finally, the elections are drawing nearer and the admin are in a hurry to secure quick wins and make most of their anticorruption mantra. They are trying to everything within a legal and constitutional framework - even if it seems military, all they have to do is modify it.

This won't stop his imminent return to daura

Atleast Buhari didn't ban Atiku from America

zombie can now see that Atiku and Obi are decent men

Fayose was excluded from the list..


foul play!!!

fayose surrendering power to fayemi so easily without challenging him in court with the level of election malpractice that took place during the election look strange.


his latest ranting of leaving pdp looks like he alrdy sold his soul to apc jst to b saint bcoz of fear of efcc.


i dont trust fayose.
watch as efcc will paint him saint without delay.

well,he will smile now and regret later,bcoz we will atikulate dullard to daura by 2019 and there wont be space for fayose by then in pdp

As long as this IGP, Rotimi Amaechi, Tinubu and the rest aren't included on that damned list, Buhari is an embarrassment to reasoning

As a founding member of pdp join apc after 2015 at ur peril , u will be used as scapegoat, ask senator joshua dariye n jolly nyame

No one will shout Nepotism o seeing that the list is full of northerners.

mercenary:
This won't stop his imminent return to daura

But it would at least prevent many corrupt individuals who you spend time and energy supporting from leaving this country and using it to delay their trials.

I believe most of them are not even active members of the opposition currently and their trials are in advanced stages.

Drastic times calls for drastic measures.

I hope it won't be a case of selective persecution, but alas, it is. Omisore is missing because he danced to the tune of the power that be. And as for that Orji Kalu, it serves him right.

mercenary:
This won't stop his imminent return to daura

It will rather ensure it.

What is the name of Justice Umezulike that was buried about three weeks ago doing on that list? Buhari Apc and all its supporters are cursed. Our prayers are needed for the self acclaimed change mantra vagabonds.

Ok

What of the grass cutter (Babachir lawal) that was caught red handed?

Whatever happened to Obanikoro who even slept at EFCC cell with FFK?

Maina that was on a whole "INTERPOL" list...

You're very correct. I wonder what they hope to achieve with this restriction. Whatever monies PDP hope to use for the election are currently resting in some septic tanks and wardrobes now and are in the country so what's the use of travel ban?

sexiestharam:
Why are Atiku, Peter Obi and OBJ's names not there? Buhari dey fear? What of Rotimi Amaechi and Tinubu. One sided stupid corruption fight. Buhari's name should also be on the list!

The end of buhari tyranny is near ..

Buhari will be kicked out of Aso rock in 2019

Since the emergence of Atiku, I have been hearing that he is the prince of corruption. That he looted Nigeria to build empire. Now, this list excludes his name why? If they refuse to include Atikus name on that list, then, I will conclude that Atiku is as pure as Gold and I will vote for him. Anticorruption my foot. Atiku is corrupt my poo. Nonsense

The judicial decision did not provide ANY locus standing for them to have their personal movement restricted. It decided that the executive order can not override the constitutional right of each citizen, unless convicted.

The court also decided that forfeitures are temporary until conviction by a legal court, and that they have the right to seek redress in court.

See the legal ruling https://punchng.com/executive-order-6-court-backs-buhari-on-seizure-of-looters-assets/

This incompetent dullard is so predictable. Hahahaha. This is what a life time of being a career coupist can do to you.

Something you should have done immediately you were sworn in as president.

#yinmu.

Like play like play Dasuki has been im detention since 2015. Buhari is truly a bitch
