The Federal Government of Nigeria has deported three Koreans – Lee Yoo Song, Lee Byeung Woo and Moon Een Soo.
The Koreans, who were deported for immigration-related offences, left the shores of the country on July 20, 2016.
The Minister of Interior, Lieutenant General Abdulrahaman Dambuzau (rtd), in the exercise of the powers conferred on him by sections 45(2) and (3) and 44( 1e) of the Immigration Act 2015, signed the Deportation Order.
With the deportation order in force, the three Koreans will not be eligible to enter Nigeria again through any port in the next 10 years.
Without prejudice to the Foreign Investment Drive of the Federal Government, a statement by the Nigerian Immigration Service on Wednesday said, the Comptroller-General of Immigration, Muhammad Babandede, cautioned all expatriates and their employers in Nigeria to respect the laws of the country as the Nigeria Immigration Service is determined to implement all aspect of immigration laws in public interest.
However, the statement said, expatriates resident in Nigeria with correct documentation are assured of the protection of their rights and dignity.
