Sowore made the call on Friday following the announcement by the US government of new visa restrictions targeting individuals allegedly involved in internet fraud, popularly known as "Yahoo boys," as well as certain members of their families.
The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) and human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has challenged the United States government to extend its recently announced visa restrictions to what he described as "Yahoo politicians" in Nigeria, accusing them of looting the country's resources, destroying public institutions and plunging millions of Nigerians into poverty.
Sowore made the call on Friday following the announcement by the US government of new visa restrictions targeting individuals allegedly involved in internet fraud, popularly known as "Yahoo boys," as well as certain members of their families.
Reacting to the development, Sowore argued that sanctions should not be limited to street-level cybercrime suspects while political office holders accused of corruption continue to enjoy unrestricted access to foreign countries.
In a post shared on Friday, the presidential candidate questioned why politicians he accused of massive corruption had not been subjected to similar international sanctions.
