The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Kemi Nandap, has said that the Diaspora sponsors of #EndBadGovernance protesters have been placed on its watchlist.
Nandap assured that the watch-listed individuals would be arrested upon their arrival in the country, although she did not mention any names.
She disclosed this at a meeting of heads of security agencies and service chiefs in Abuja on Tuesday.
“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.” She said.

According to her, the service has, in response to the protest, deployed more officers to the borders, both land and airports, to ensure effective manning of those entry points.
Nandap said the service has also stepped up surveillance to prevent foreign intervention in the country.
On his part, the Director-General of the Department of State Services, Yusuf Bichi, also confirmed that the agency has uncovered some sponsors but declined to give further information.
The DG, DSS, who was represented by the Service Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya, said some accounts have been blocked.
He said some of the people operating such accounts are staying abroad, adding that they are being monitored.
