Nigerian Immigration Services (NIS) has placed sponsors of the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protest on their watchlist.
This was disclosed by the Comptroller-General of NIS, Mr Kemi Nandap during a press briefing at Defence Headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said that some individuals in the diaspora would be arrested as soon as they set foot on Nigerian soil.
This is coming after a strategic meeting convened by Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa.
The Defence Chief, along with heads of intelligence agencies held a closed-door meeting on Monday aimed at implementing the crackdown directive issued by President Bola Tinubu.
She also stressed that surveillance has been intensified to prevent foreign interference in the country.
Also, the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Yusuf Bichi, revealed that some sponsors had been uncovered, although he refrained from providing further details.
Represented by DSS spokesman Peter Afunanya, Bichi noted that several bank accounts linked to these individuals have already been blocked, and that many are residing abroad while being closely monitored.
