 The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), yesterday, denied playing any 
part in the process that led to the issuance of Nigerian Visa to the 
wanted ISIS chief, Ahmed Al Assir in Lebanon, even as it said two 
men connected to Al Assir, who he was coming to visit in Nigeria, had 
been arrested in Kano and immediately handed over to the National 
Security Adviser, General Babagana Monguno (rtd).The Comptroller-General of the NIS, Martin Abeshi, who debunked any 
complicity of the Service, while speaking at a news conference in Abuja,
 said “From the record available, the Immigration Service did not issue 
that visa. It might be the officials of the foreign affairs ministry 
because they also issue visa on our behalf.”Abeshi however, said the NIS went into action to arrest those 
connected to Al Assir immediately it gathered an intelligence that he 
was coming to Nigeria.Said the NIS boss: “When we were told that the person [Al Assir] was 
heading to Nigeria, the people the man was coming to visit were 
identified by our men. Our officers in Kano went into action and 
arrested the two of them immediately and handed them over to the 
National Security Adviser.”
