“We have not banned anyone from travelling,” Buhari was quoted as saying yesterday in a statement by the Head of the president’s media team, Garba Shehu.
“Responding to some cases of  ‘V.I.P stoppages’ at the airports as reported to him, yesterday, Buhari directed all agencies under the government to run their affairs in full compliance with extant rules, regulations and the constitution of the country”, the statement said.
“Unless otherwise directed by the courts, no law-abiding citizens should be barred from travelling abroad. We must treat fellow citizens with courtesy and respect. Officials at the borders and other points of entry and exit should conduct their affairs in strict compliance with due process. No one has my permission to bar anyone from travelling abroad.”
