Presidency Has Reacted To Buhari Minister Allegedly On US Watch-List Over Links With Terrorism Groups.

 

 

News Rain Nigeria reports that the presidency described as untrue reports going about that the United States government has placed Nigeria’s Minister of Communications, Isa Pantami on terror watch-list.

 

A report monitored on Daily Independent by NewsOnline Nigeria, says there is disquiet in the land at the weekend follow­ing an allegation that the Minister of Com­munications and Digital Economy, Alhaji Isa Ali Ibrahim, also known as Sheikh Pantami, has fall­en on the watch list of America’s Intelligence Service.

It was also alleged that Pantami had ties with Abu Quata­da al Falasimi and other Al-Qaeda leaders whom he revered and spoke highly of.

However, reacting to the reports on Monday morning, April 12, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, described the claims as fake news.

The presidential aide insisted that the Minister has never been on any US watchlist.

”You have just endorsed a fake report without verifying. For your information @DrIsaPantami has never been on any US watchlist,” Bashir said while reacting to a post on the alleged wanted list.

You have just endorsed a fake report without verifying. As a media outlet @NewsWireNGR you know exactly how to verify such reports, but no, you are here pushing a false and dangerous narrative to your thousands of followers. FYI @DrIsaPantami has never been on any US watchlist. https://t.co/p4vR5yUGQ9
