JUST IN: Anybody that disrupt the 2023 elections will be denied visa__ UK

Catriona Laing, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, has announced that anybody that disrupt the 2023 elections will be denied a UK visa.

She made the announcement during a maiden visit to Rivers State where she met Governor Nyesom Wike in Port Harcourt.

Moreso, she used the opportunity to call on Wike and his predecessor, the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, to ensure a peaceful election in the state in 2023.

She said, “I do have some sympathy for Nigeria because if we as the UK have one of these problems your country is having today, we will be struggling. Here, you deal with everything, from insurgency to kidnapping, to piracy off the Gulf of Guinea and you don’t have such a large army and police force for a country of this size,” she said.

“The only way you turn this thing around is that government has to build the trust of its people, to have the people working with the government to deal with criminality. That’s how successful anti-criminal operations work.

“People willingly report those committing crime, working with police to identify criminals, same with the military on the insurgency situation. It’s only when the community is on the side of the police and security services that they can turn around the situation.”
