Nigeria’s army of former diplomatic and
official passport holders on Monday found
the documents to be worthless pieces of
paper, the federal government announcing
they have been revoked.
Those affected by the order include former governors,
legislators, Ministers, Commissioners, Special Advisers/
Special Assistants, Chairmen/Deputy Chairmen of Local
Governments, Heads of parastatals, and civil servants.
A statement issued by the Comptroller-General of the
Immigration Service, MK Abeshi, said the revocation
followed a previous directive, and that the documents are to
be returned to the Nigeria Immigration Service
Headquarters in Abuja immediately.
“Failure to comply with this directive will amount to an
offence under the Immigration Act 2015,” he said, warning
that further unauthorized possession will be impounded at
Nigeria’s border control posts on arrival or departure.
