Comptroller general of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Muhammad Babandede yesterday declared that foreigners whose biometrics have not being registered will be deported from Nigeria after January 15 2020 deadline.

Babandede who made the disclosure at the graduation ceremony of 529 officers held at the Immigration Training School in Kano State, assured that millions of illegal immigrants would be deported after the six months amnesty period elapses for them to have their data registered.

He noted that while the law allows for immigrants to be registered on arrival into the country, President Muhammadu Buhari gave a six months amnesty for all foreigners to be freely registered.

He said, “People are registering and anybody who overstayed in Nigeria could register again, and be forgiven for that overstay, you start a fresh life and you will be considered for a new application  for stay in Nigeria”.

The comptroller added that “as from January 15, 2020, anybody who has not registered would be penalised and the penalty simply means removal.”

Babandede said the service aims to encourage foreigners to quickly register and save themselves from the embarrassment of deportation as well as being charged to court for other offences.

Speaking on drug test for personnel, Babandede said the service will soon commence the testing of all its staff starting with himself to show the seriousness of the program.

He stressed that as a paramilitary outfit empowered by law to carry arms, the service cannot afford to allow its personnel carry arms without being properly tested for drug abuse as part of measures to avoid harm to innocent Nigerians.

“Amongst our personnel, anybody that is found to have drugs in his blood, will be rehabilitated. We will guide him on how to make a good living, after which we will conduct another test. By the time we do three tests and there is no change it means he cannot work with us.

“The first test we intend to carry out will be on high blood Pressure. If you are one with that problem it means we can’t give you weapons. You can’t have contact with ammunition. This is very important in terms of national security, government cannot buy weapons against its citizens” he declared.
