The Ministry of Internal Affairs has debunked the rumour that it is generating a No-Fly list of front liners of #EndSARS protesters.
The Peoples Gazette, a news platform, had earlier reported that the federal government is collating a no-fly list of ‘hundreds of Nigerians’ they suspected of energizing the #EndSARS protest in Nigeria.
The report came after one of the members of the Feminist Coalition and front liners of the #EndSARS protest, Modupe ‘Moe’ Odele, was prevented from leaving the country and her passport seized.
Reacting to that, the Ministry, via its Twitter handle, described the news as fake, stating that it has not and will not generate such a list.
