My Commission Is Not For Deportation Of Biafrans- Dabiri-Erewa

The attention of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), and her

Chairman/CEO, Hon. Abike  Dabiri-Erewa, has been drawn to a malicious,

mischievous and fabulous story where the leader of the proscribed

Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra

(MASSOB), Uchenna Madu, falsely alleged that NIDCOM is the medium being

used by the Federal government to forcefully deport persecuted Biafrans.

“, the group alleged that NIDCOM is being used to crack down its

pro-Biafra groups leaders in the diaspora.

These and other fabricated stories by this discredited group are false,

mischievous and at best another tales by moonlight narrative.

NIDCOM as we know has no such powers nor has such agents of harrasment

both in Nigeria and in the foreign lands.

In international relations,  the process of deportation is a country to

country  decision which lies with the country foreign policy within the

purview of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It must be pointed out that most countries are  clamping down on

irregular  immigrants irrespective of their faith, ethnic or

nationalities.

Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa has consistently been appealing to Nigerians to

obey laws of the countries they reside and be good Ambassadors of

Nigeria.

So, the allegation that “the Federal Government is secretly working with

some agents of foreign countries to arrest our members in diaspora and

deport them to Nigeria for persecution and prosecution”, is a figment of

the group imagination.

Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa and her Commission is for all Nigerians

irrespective of their tribes or religious inclinations as enshrined in

the Act of the Parliament setting up the Commission.
