Nigeria’s Immigration Service has finally asked #EndSARS promoter, Modupe Odele popular known as @Moe or Moechivous to come pick-up her seized passport which was has been in the NIS possession since November 1st. 
Moe who took to her Twitter handle to announce that the Immigration officials had gotten across to her telling her that her passport will be available to return back to her possession by 4 pm on Friday, November 6 {today}.
She tweeted,
“I’ve been told by Immigration that my passport is ready for collection from 4 pm today. I’ve respectfully informed them I’ll be there on Monday to pick it up.
“Since today is Friday, I asked for an earlier time but was told it will only be ready from 4 pm today, Friday.”
Moe, who provided legal assistance to protesters who were unjustly arrested by the authorities, was stopped at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, on Sunday on her way to the Maldives through Dubai.
However, the NIS said the passport of Modupe Odele was seized as part of a routine border assignment.
The spokesman for the NIS, Mr. Sunday James, said,
“When there is a directive from any agency of government not specific, we have to enforce either entry or restriction of entry by anybody who has been directed not to be allowed exit or entry and as a matter of fact, we cannot as a border management agency, allow anybody who has been restricted from leaving the country to go out and we cannot allow anybody who has been restricted from entry to enter.
“So, it is a routine assignment and it has nothing to do with End SARS. We are the lead agency for the security management of the border. It has to do with the restriction order which we are duty-bound to enforce.”
