FG makes U-turn, re-opens sea borders

Minister of Interior, Mr. Abba Moro
The Federal Government has re-opened all the country’s sea borders barely a day after closing them down along with all land borders ahead of Saturday’s presidential election.
Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, who said this while inaugurating the new Koto- Karfe Medium Prisons, explained on Thursday that the government had received counsel that the action would affect the country’s economic activities at the seaports.
Moro however assured that officers and men of the Nigeria Immigration Service had been directed to effectively monitor movements in and out of the country’s sea borders before, during and after the elections.
The government had, in a statement on Wednesday, directed that all Nigeria’s land and sea borders be closed from midnight of Thursday till midnight of Saturday.
