Nigeria Government has deported a French passenger who was caught at Abuja Airport without a Nigerian visa to his home state in Paris Charles de Gaulle.
The passenger with unruly behaviour flew into the country through Air France two days ago but was denied entry after he was discovered to have visited without a visa.
PUNCH Online reported how the unnamed passenger caused security and diplomatic concerns at the airport, forcing immigration officers to deboard him from an Air France flight and restricting his access to the boarding area over his unruly behaviour.
Meanwhile, the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, Micheal Achimugu in his latest post on his X handle on Friday, said the passenger had been sedated by medical practitioners and airlifted back to his country.
Speaking further, Achimugu said he monitored the passenger’s onboarding around 10 pm on Thursday, thanked airport officials, particularly the Abuja airport immigration commandant, identified as Mr Agada, among others.
The NCAA publicist said, “Examined by a doctor and placed on a sedative, the unruly French national has finally boarded an Air France flight to CDG, Paris.
” I was physically present to witness his boarding at 10 pm on Thursday, along with the very capable terminal head, Miriam Anosike who did a yeoman’s job in this case, Ifueko Abdulmalik, and gallant men of the Nigeria Immigration Service.
“I must mention that the Immigration Commander at the airport, Mr. Agada, was very cooperative. His willingness to collaborate was the glue that held all of this together.”
