A non-career Ambassadorial nominee, Yusuf Hinna, has alleged that Ghanaians and other Africans obtain Nigerian passports for the purpose of committing crimes.
He made the allegation during his screening at the Senate on Tuesday.
"I recall that some Africans such as Ghanaians were arrested and they were carrying Nigeria passports," he said. “There is abuse of our green passports. There are security challenges, and we have to tackle them."
He said if confirmed as ambassador, he would embark on continual screening to determine citizenship and eligibility for obtaining the Nigeria passport.
