Immigration boss raises the alarm over fake marriages

Muhammad Babandede
The Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration Service, Muhammad Babandede has expressed worry over the consummation of fake marriages to Nigerian spouses by foreigners.
He said there had been a sharp increase in December 2020 of such marriages to Nigerian spouses just to avoid payments of $2,000 Residence Permits.
Babandede said the development would deny the nation the needed revenue, take away jobs and cause security problems for the country.
He spoke during the unveiling of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) 2020 Annual Report by the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola at the Service Headquarters in Abuja.
The Immigration boss was qouted in a statement signed by the Director of Press in the Ministry, Mohammed Manga as saying that “despite several arrests and deportation orders signed by the Minister of Interior, there was a sharp increase in December 2020 compared with previous months in the year. ”
