Five Nigerian nationals have been deported from Kenya and declared persona non grata due to their alleged involvement in various criminal activities, including drug trafficking in the country.
The five; Olayiwola Saheed
Tunde, Nwosu Prince Chukwuebuka, Ajibade Adewale, Nwanonaku Alexander
Odirachukwumma and Olayiwola Babatunde Akintomwawere, were deported by the
Directorate of Immigration Services on March 18, 2024.
"The Investigations
Department reported that some of the foreigners, had even sneaked back into the
country after being declared persona non grata and deported in 2023," a
source at Nyayo House told Citizen Digital.
“They had become nuisance to
the public and to us, as law enforcement.”
According to the Immigration
Department Tunde, is a known drug trafficker who was in the country illegally
while Chukwuebuka was apprehended with 1 million dollars in counterfeit bills,
along with 11 fake Nigerian passports and 3 fake Kenyan passports.
Adewale and Odirachukwumma,
identified as known drug dealers, were also in the country illegally while
Akintomwa, aside from being involved in drug trafficking, was known for
engaging in online scams.
The Immigration department
further states that Nigerian nationals previously deported from Kenya, find
themselves in neighbouring Tanzania where they continue coordinating criminal
activities in Kenya in collaboration with their counterparts in the country.
