The Immigration Department has deported at least five foreign nationals implicated in unlawful activities in the country.
The deportation, executed on March 18, aligns with the department’s efforts to address the challenges posed by foreign criminals to the public and law enforcement agencies.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the deported individuals are all Nigerian nationals and had previously been expelled and barred from entry before they re-entered the country.
Among those deported are Olayiwola Saheed Tunde, identified as an illegal resident and suspected of drug trafficking, and Nwosu Prince Chukwuebuka, apprehended with counterfeit 1 million US dollars.
The two were also found in possession of 11 fake Nigerian passports and three Kenyan passports.
The list further includes Ajibade Adewale, Nwanonaku Alexander Odirachukwumma, and Olayiwola Babatunde Akintomwa, all suspected of drug trafficking and residing in the country without authorisation.
