The Department of Immigration and Citizenship Services on Tuesday deported a Nigerian national, Kelly Kayode Adedokuni, for contravening the Laws of Malawi.
Regional Immigration Office publicist for the Centre, Pasqually Zulu, said Adedokuni was arrested for trying to acquire a Malawi national identity card through the National Registration Office.
The 44-year-old Adedokuni’s passport number is 10752292 and was issued on 21st September, 2020, and will expire on 20th September 2025.
As such, he wanted to acquire a Malawian passport dubiously, but the police arrested him.

Zulu said the Department of Immigration and Citizenship Services deported Adedokuni in-line with Section 4 Subsection (1) f of the Immigration Act.
Meanwhile, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship Services has appealed to foreign nationals residing in Malawi to respect the rule of law, failure to comply risks deportation.
