The Personal Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, has dismissed reports that the United States government and the FBI has placed Nigeria’s Minister of Com­munications, Isa Pantami, on its terror watch-list.


The news on social media was circulated on Sunday that Pantami had been placed on the list over presumed connection with a former Boko Haram Leader.

The report claimed that the minister was said to be a close confidant of the late Mohammed Yusuf, the late leader of Boko Haram.

It also claimed that Pantami had ties with Abu Quata­da al Falasimi and other Al-Qaeda leaders whom he revered and spoke highly of.

Meanwhile, in a tweet on Monday, Bashir described the report as ‘fake news.’

He stated that the Minister has never been on any US watchlist.

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