The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has launched an investigation into a video circulating on social media, which shows a female traveler destroying a Nigerian Standard Passport at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos.
DCI Kenneth Udo, the Service Public Relations Officer, announced that the individual has been identified and invited for questioning.
If the allegations are confirmed, her actions may breach Section 10(b) of the Immigration Act 2015 (as amended), which carries penalties under Section 10(h) of the same Act.
The NIS remains committed to upholding the Immigration Act and maintaining national security and the integrity of the nation’s legal documents.
