Immigration Reacts to Passport Renewal Denial for #EndSARS Promoter.
A caterer, Mosopefoluwa Odeseye, earlier on complained that the Nigeria Immigration Service denied her a passport on Wednesday.
Odeseye, said she was informed that she had been blacklisted while trying to renew her passport at the Lagos Immigration office, weeks after providing food to protesters and helped in sourcing funds for a wounded protester,
She tweeted:
First,it was @cenbank locking up all my bank accounts, now it is @nigimmigration not issuing my passport @ Alausa! To what end, Nigeria? To what end? I applied for a re-issue @ Alausa, captured some days ago & asked to come pick today then I’m told that I have been BLACKLISTED???

The Punch reported that attempts to speak with the spokesman for the NIS, Sunday James, proved abortive as he did not respond to a phone call.
Meanwhile, a top immigration officer, who confirmed the development, said they were acting based on orders from above.
“We have asked her to see the Assistant Comptroller General in charge of passports at the head office in Abuja. We are only acting on instruction,” she said.
Recall that, in October, the CBN asked banks to freeze accounts of some persons involved in controlling #EndSARS funds.
However, the Apex bank had told a Federal High Court that they are under investigation for terrorism, an allegation the accused persons have defamed.
