Deporting 12000 To Nig Will Worsen Insecurity Akpabio Appeals To Germany
Senate President, Akpabio has appealed to German Ambassador to Nigeria not to deport over 12000 Nigerian illegal Migrants in Germany so as not to worsen insecurity in the country.
Akpabio disclosed this on Wednesday when the German Ambassador to Nigeria, Annette Gunther paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja.
Gunther, in her address, said both Germany and Nigeria are large economies in Africa and Europe respectively, and as such can partner.
“We are honoured to be here today. Nigeria and Germany being the largest economies and population in their respective continents, need to come together in their peoples’ interests. Nigeria is Germany’s second largest trading partner in sub-Saharan Africa,” the German Ambassador said.
In his address, Akpabio pointed out that Nigeria is grappling with insecurity and called on Germany to work in synergy with Nigeria in the areas of security and power, to enhance the socio-political development of Nigeria.
The Senate President, then, urged Gunther to help Nigeria, Africa’s largest population in fighting insecurity as well as strengthening its economy.
He however appealed to German government to put behind the move to deporting 12,000 illegal migrants of Nigerian extraction pointing out that it can create more insecurity in the country.
“We also have a problem of infiltration from other countries.

“The recent decision of Germany to deport illegal Nigerians back to the country numbering 12,000 is something you have to look into for us, because of its security implications.
As a result of the current political situation in Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, almost every black person in Germany, would claim to be a Nigerian because they don’t want to return to crises prone countries.
“Dumping 12,000 illegal immigrants in Nigeria would lead to the escalation of insecurity in the country. There is, therefore, the need for your country to allow our immigration officers to assess,  who exactly is a Nigerian amongst them,he added
