FG deports seven Koreans

The Federal Government has deported seven nationals of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) back to their country.
But the government did not state the reason for the action.
The Public Relations’ Officer (PRO) of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Mr Sunday James, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
“The Comptroller General, NIS, Mr Mohammad Babandede, has carried out the deportation of seven DPRK nationals from Nigeria for life,” he said.
According to him, the deported Koreans include Jo Sun Phil, Jang Sung Chol, Che Chun Hyok, Pak Yong Gon, R I Yong Il and Ri Hak Su.
James said that they were deported on the order of the Minister of Interior, Mr Rauf Aregbesola based on the powers conferred on him by the Immigration Act 2015.
He said that they were deported to their country of origin with the available flight on Oct. 15, 2019 through Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
He, however, urged that the general public to take note.
