Barely two weeks after the British government vowed to impose visa ban on Nigerian politicians involved in violence and rigging, the United States of America, yesterday, announced visa restrictions on some Nigerians accused of undermining democracy.
The United States has placed visa restrictions on Nigerians acting to undermine the country’s democracy barely one month before the 2023 general elections. According to the US, some affected persons’ family members will also be sanctioned. This was announced by the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, in a statement released on Wednesday, obtained by The Punch. He stated that the sanctioned individuals, the identities of whom he did not reveal, would be ineligible for US visas.
