The
Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, has ordered a full investigation into the
case of a wanted terrorist that was granted a Nigerian Visa in Lebanon to visit
the country. An official of the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign affairs told
Vanguard in Abuja, Tuesday evening, that the President 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.
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 officer said.
