Six British citizens who violated immigration law have been deported by
the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS). The Comptroller-General of the
NIS, Mr. Martins Kure-Abeshi, disclosed this while meeting with the
House of Representatives Committee on Interior. Abeshi said, "On Monday
in the evening, the company that employed those expatriates, after my
discussion with them, are to be responsible for their air tickets.
"As I am talking now, I am sure they have been flown out." Adding that “It is against the law of the land. So their first employer complained about these expatriates, so it is an offence they have committed and we have ordered their deportation. “When we conduct our operation and discover that someone who is not a Nigerian is living in this country illegally, he will be repatriated. That is on our own part, they have to go," the NIS boss added.
