NIS Removes Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan From Alleged ‘No-Fly’ List

The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has removed Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from its "No-Fly" list after public outcry over the alleged seizure of her passport. Sources within the NIS confirmed the removal, attributing the initial placement to Senator Natasha's criticisms of the Senate while traveling abroad, reportedly on the orders of Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The controversy stemmed from a viral video where Senator Natasha confronted immigration officers, accusing them of illegally confiscating her passport based on Akpabio's instructions, preventing her from traveling and violating her constitutional rights. The NIS's decision to remove her name was reportedly influenced by the negative portrayal of the agency in the video.
