CRIME: TWO MEN CONNECTED TO INVITATION OF TERRORIST ISIS CHIEF ARRESTED IN KANO

 The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), yesterday said two men connected to the invitation of the wanted ‘terrorist’ ISIS chief, Ahmed Al Assir, to Nigeria have been arrested in Kano and handed over to the National Security Adviser, General Babagana Monsuno (rtd). 

The NIS also denied playing any part in the process that led to the issuance of Nigerian Visa to Al Assir. The Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service NIS, Martin Abeshi,  speaking at a news conference in Abuja, said “From the record available, the Immigration Service did not issue that visa. It might be the officials of the foreign affairs ministry because they also issue visa on our behalf.”
