Garba Shehu, a special assistant on media to the president, has labeled the list showing names of people affected by a travel ban as fake.
Speaking on Channels TV, Garba Shehu stated that the Federal Government is yet to release any list containing names of affected persons.
“We’ve seen a number of names being circulated. We have not issued any list. We are not going to issue any list because, again, if we did so, a lot of criticism will follow. Trials by media and all sorts of things.
“These cases are mostly known by most Nigerians. There are cases that have been in the public domain. Most of them were never really instituted by this administration. They go back seven to 10 years.” he said.
Speaking to a Punch correspondent, Garba Shehua advised those criticizing the travel ban to go to court.
”Those who are opposed to this government’s position know what they can do. They should go to court. There is nobody under any illusion as far as the present administration’s anti-corruption war is concerned. Let it be known to all that this government will not abandon this ongoing fight against corruption because of such criticisms, he said.
