SUBJECT: NIGERIA: REQUEST HUMAN RIGHTS VETTING FOR
CANDIDATE FOR UNDERGRADUATE PILOT TRAINING

1. Embassy requests the Department's assistance under the
Leahy Act and the Foreign Assistance Act in screening the
following individuals who have been nominated for training by
OFFICE OF SECURITY COORPORATION ABUJA. The individuals are
to attend UNDERGRADUATE PILOT TRAINING at LACKLAND AFB,
HOLLOMAN AFB, AND VANCE AFB IN THE UNITED STATES beginning
sometime after 23 DECEMBER 2009 and lasting fifteen to
eighteen months. Embassy has no derogatory information.
However, a check by consular section revealed discernable
hits on Ibrahim, Muhammad to warrant the submission of a
security advisory opinion (SAO) when this person seeks a U.S.
visa, thereby requiring additional lead time prior to
issuance.
