Niger Republic deport over 40 Nigerians
Over 40 Nigerians have been repatriated from Niger republic for entering the country without valid documents.
According to a statement by the Acting Controller, Nigerian Immigration Service, Katsina State, Abdullahi Dalhatu, he said the deportees were returned to Nigeria through the NIS control post in Kongolam and twelve of them were arraigned before a Federal High Court sitting in Katsina on Thursday under Justice Hadiza Shagari.
“Twelve of the forty-two repatriated Nigerians have been arraigned before the Federal High Court in Katsina for evading Immigration clearance while crossing Nigerian border to another country through illegal routes. The rest will soon be arraigned upon completion of charges against them,” He added
Imagine Niger Republic deprting Nigerians. Apc government has messed this country up to a point of no return. In the early 90s i travelled to Niamey the capital of Niger Republic on road from Jibia Katsina state to Maradi enroute to Niamey. The country was virtually a desert with little development. It was in the country capital of Niamey that one can see signs of development. Their chief means of transport was bicycle. Their streets were sparsely populated and may of their houses were made of mud and thatch roof. At Jibia border, the Nigeriens cross freely on foot, cars and whatever means possible to Nigeria unhindered. On my way back i went tyhrough Koni (Niger Republic) border with Nigeria through Sokoto axis, the same thing is happening. Now Niger is deporting Nigerians.
Though, it’s unlawful to evade tax but it’s not their fault when our leaders also evade tax, it’s only poor Nigeria that’s paying tax. Nigeria should emulate them those who are entering Nigeria without proper documents should be deported to their country and those in charge should stop taking bribe from them.
We have to do the same for their citizens too who are here without visas
Totally absurd and shows how weak we are in immigration services
