2019: UK, US to deny anyone who interfere with Nigeria’s elections Visa

The United States and the United Kingdom have said that actions will be taken against anyone who interferes with the 2019 elections in Nigeria.

Both the US and UK announced that there will be repercussions, include visa restrictions, for election interference and election-related violence in coming polls.

In a statement made on Thursday, both countries described the elections as very important to not just Nigeria but also to Africa.

The two countries said their threat of a sanction against those who attempt to disrupt the electoral process is to ensure that the polls are as free and fair as is expected globally.
