A Nigerian national who had been declared a prohibited immigrant and deported has been jailed for three years.

Emmanuel Inobemhe had been sent back to his country in June this year but sneaked back into Kenya on September 20.

He was investigated by the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit for terrorism connections.

On Friday, Chief Magistrate Daniel Ogembo said the offence committed by the Nigerian is serious and touches on the security of the country.

The magistrate sentenced him to serve three years in prison for defying an order from Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery.

Mr Inobemhe is also facing a charge of drug trafficking, which is listed for a hearing on November 8.

Overview

Emmanuel Lovembe pleaded guilty to the charges before Nairobi Chief Magistrate Daniel Ogembo.

The West African was deported from the country in 2013 following a presidential order declaring him and Anthony Chinedu illegal immigrants.

In mitigation, Lovembe pleaded for leniency and urged the court to deport him to his motherland saying he is a father of two and the sole breadwinner.

But the magistrate rejected his prayer saying the offence he was facing is serious considering the current security situation in the country.

“The accused has proved that he does not respect the rule of law,” he ruled.

Lovembe was arrested in Kayole on September 29, 2016 after sneaking back into the country.

News like this makes me weep for Nigeria, but we need to take precautions as a nation to avoid all these embarrassment to the good people of this nation.
No thanks to our rulers because I can't see a leader insight.

Isn't that what Nigeria is? Like biig and populated? Don't forget too that Nigeria is the only country whose people have caucasian features and they are not as black as the other black people.

Buhari government is a survival of the fittest_Nigerians have become a laughing stock, the joke of the year_sometime those countires deliberately punish Nigerians, knowing fully well that their country is on fire.

ibos are jailed and killed like fowl all over the world.
The sad part is they are called Nigerians!
