Fifty-two Nigerians yesterday lost their legal rights to remain in the United
Kingdom. Investigation in London revealed that the arrangement have been
concluded for the deportation of the affected Nigerians made up of 41 males and
11 females on a chartered flight yesterday.
Mr Muhammed Isa, Head of Immigration Section in the Nigerian High
Commission, who confirmed the development, said that already, manifest
documenting detailed offences of those to be deported have been forwarded to
appropriate authorities in Nigeria. …..sorry all of you but welcome back to Naija….
He said the deportees, who breached
the rules of their stay in the UK, include asylum seekers, over-stayers and
convicted drug traffickers that have completed their terms.
Isa, who
noted further that an enforced removal of Nigerians from the UK was ` certainly’
not the preferred choice of either the Commission, the British Authority and
those affected, advised Nigerians to obey the rules of their host countries and
avoid getting involved in criminal
activities. (NAN)
