More Than 60 Nigerians Deported From UK Over Marriage, Visa Scams

At least 60 Nigerians in the United Kingdom have been deported because of various criminal offences. Some of the deportees had contravened immigration offences, while some were deported for their involvement in crimes such as molest, stealing, smoking and selling of hard drugs. Others used fake visa or engaged in fake marriages.

Some of the deportees said at the airport that they had lived in the UK for long but could not get residence permit.
