The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) on Monday said it has launched a formal investigation following the circulation of a video on social media, showing a female traveller destroying a Nigerian Standard Passport at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.
Service Public Relations Officer, DCI Kenneth Udo disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja. He said the individual has been identified and invited for further investigation.
Udo said: “If the allegations are substantiated, her actions would have constituted a breach of Section 10(b) of the Immigration Act 2015 (as amended), with corresponding penalties outlined under Section 10(h) of the same Act.
“The Nigeria Immigration Service remains steadfast in its commitment to upholding the provisions of the Immigration Act in the interest of national security, and to preserving the dignity and integrity of the nation’s legal instruments.”
