The Nigerian Embassy in Washington DC has denied allegations that it denied a former United States envoy to Nigeria, Ambassador John Campbell, a Visitor’s Visa as a result of his negative statements about the Federal Government of Nigeria.
Contrary to the feelings from some quarters, the Nigerian Embassy, through its ambassador, Prof. Adebowale Adefuye, has declared that the embassy did not give the former U.S envoy any negative treatment, stressing that the visa section of the Chancery has stipulated conditions which must be met before any visa could be granted to anybody.
In an exclusive interview with our correspondent on Friday afternoon, Ambassador Adebowale Adefuye said that Ambassador John Campbell was refused the visa he demanded as a result of incomplete documentation.
