The warning was handed down in a statement on Monday, released via the official 𝕏 account of the U.S Mission in Nigeria.
“Fighting corruption knows no borders or limits on accountability. Even when high-profile individuals engage in corruption, they can be barred from receiving U.S. Visas,” the statement read.
