Following the United States visa ban on some political key Nigerian figures including former Edo state governor and national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, for sabotaging Nigeria's democracy, the United Kingdom government has also threatened visa ban on individuals who are planning to mastermind violence during the forthcoming Edo and Ondo states guber election.
This is also following the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, who also had his visa ban extended by the US government.
The UK Government announced that the restrictions will include restrictions on eligibility to travel to the UK, and access denial to UK's based asset and properties.
This was disclosed by the British High Commission in Nigeria through its official media handle on Tuesday.
British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing, through a statement said that she had met with the APC and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) key chieftains on the forthcoming Edo guber election slated for September 19, on the need to observe rig and violence free election.
