After uncovering fake PCR tests and vaccination cards, the Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) has deactivated the passports of about 200 COVID-19 test defaulters.
Health Commissioner Prof. Akin Abayomi said this in Alausa yesterday, according to a report by Channels Television.
He announced that the names of the defaulters who failed to appear before a mobile court have been submitted and their passports will be deactivated for one year.
“We have submitted the first 200 names of individuals who have failed to present themselves at the mobile courts to the Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) and their passports have been deactivated for one year”.
According to the report, Abayomi asserted that defaulters would be subject to fines or community service as the acts are criminal.
“These will be published in the dailies in the coming week and the next set of names will follow in the coming month.
“We encourage all those who have received a text message to present themselves at the mobile court to avoid these sanctions,” the Commissioner stated.
