She said, “We have diaspora sponsors, they are on our watchlist. They are watchlisted, any attempt they make to come into the country, we’ll be notified and they will be picked up and handed to the appropriate authority”
Nandap emphasized that the identified individuals are under close surveillance. “They are within our radar. We are ensuring that any attempt they make to enter the country will be flagged to the necessary authorities. We are working closely with the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), the Department of State Services (DSS), and the National Security Adviser’s office.”
The Director-General Department of State Services, Yusuf Bichi, said the agency has uncovered some sponsors but declined to give further information.
