Amidst intensified efforts to combat corruption and financial crimes, the federal government has made a significant move by adding the names of 35 individuals to the Exit Control List (ECL), effectively restricting their ability to leave the country.
This decision was reached during a crucial session concerning the ECL, where the federal government targeted individuals allegedly involved in corruption, criminal activities, and detrimental financial practices affecting the national treasury.
According to sources familiar with the matter, these additions to the ECL primarily target individuals accused of corrupt practices, evasion of legal proceedings following their departure from government institutions, and other illicit activities.
The Ministry of Home Affairs initiated the process by circulating a summary to the federal cabinet, seeking approval for the inclusion of these individuals on the ECL, underscoring the government’s commitment to addressing corruption and upholding accountability measures.
