The federal government has approved the deportation of 10
Egyptians and seven Sri-Lankans.
Sunday James, public relations officer, Nigeria Immigration
Service (NIS), disclosed this in a statement on Friday.
James said Rauf Aregbesola, minister of interior, had signed
the deportation order in pursuant to section 45, subsection 2, section 46,
subsection 1 and section 47, subsection 1 of the Nigeria Immigration Act 2015.
He said the 10 Egyptians had violated the conditions for their entry and the minister had ordered their deportation with immediate effect.
“Seven Sri-Lankans
that were jailed for petroleum product related offences after serving their
jail terms were ordered by the court to be deported to their country as well,”
he said.
“The minister also signed the deportation order of one Ali
Mahamat Taher to France and one Kasinathan Ramasamy to India who were found to
be involved in activities violating the conditions of their entry into Nigeria.
“Taher was found to be engaged in activities capable of
undermining the security of a friendly neighbouring country to Nigeria in
Maiduguri, Borno state.
“While Ramasamy was
found working as a shop attendant in Kano.”
Muhammad Babandede, comptroller-general, had directed all
migrants in the country to comply with the laws guiding their entry into the
