Presidency debunks report of Pantami’s name on U.S terror watch-list

The presidency has debunked reports claiming that the United States government has placed Nigeria’s Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, on terror watch-list.

This was disclosed by Bashir Ahmad, the Personal Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on New Media, via Twitter.

Bashir described the report as ‘fake news’, adding that the Minister has never been on any US watchlist.

He wrote, “You have just endorsed a fake report without verifying. For your information @DrIsaPantami has never been on any US watchlist.”

Recall that a report which claimed that Pantami had been placed on the list over alleged ties with Boko Haram leader had surfaced online on Sunday.

The report also stated that the minister was a close confidant of the late Mohammed Yusuf, a former leader of Boko Haram, as well as a close associate of Abu Quata­da al Falasimi and other Al-Qaeda leaders whom he exalted.
