LAGOS, March 06, (THEWILL) – Nigerian immigration officials Monday night refused 28 South African nationals entry into Nigeria in what appeared to be a retaliatory move following the deportation of 125 Nigerian passengers from South Africa, who had arrived onboard an Arik Air flight last weekend, THEWILL can report.

The South African immigration officials had accused the deported Nigerian passengers of being in possession of fake yellow fever certificates. But the federal government of Nigeria through the foreign Minister Olugbenga Ashiru Monday issued the South African Government a warning to either behave or face sanctions from Nigeria.

The South African government has however not issued any formal communication concerning the incident.

The barred South African nationals had arrived the Murtala Muhammed International Airport onboard a South African Airways flight which originated from Johannesburg and touched down at about 9.30 pm

A senior immigration official at the international airport confirmed the development to THEWILL on Tuesday morning, saying, the South African passengers have been deported.
