| Comptroller General Nigerian Immgration Service Martin Kure Abeshi |
In Nigeria 6
Britons arrested last Saturday for violating Nigerian Immigration Laws are to
be deported back to their home country, this was the stand of the
Comptroller- General of Immigrations, Martins Kure Abeshi.
Abeshi who made the revelation before the House of Representatives Committee on Interior headed by Honourable Jagaba Adams Jagaba said the expatriates have breached Nigeria's immigration laws and would therefore be deported.
Sighting Immigration Act Part VIII, Sections 56 (1-7); 58; 59; and 60 (1–5), 2015 which provides for the immigration offences and penalties, stipulates a term of imprisonment of 10 years or fine of N2 million for violation.
While putting the case in perspective, Immigration boss said a company employed them, towards the end of last year they all travelled out, but when they were coming back, another employer gave them visa to come, which is against immigration law, and against the law of the land.
Their first employer complained about these expatriates
to the service, and the Nigeria Immigration service ordered their deportation.
