6 Britons arrested for entering Nigeria illegally

Six British citizens have been arrested by the Federal Government over alleged breach of extant laws regulating expatriate quota as stipulated by the Immigration Act, 2015.

The Britons reportedly entered the country without following due process and obtaining the right documents.

Leadership reports that the Britons collaborated with a Nigerian company, GMT Energy Resources Limited- a marine logistics/procurement support service provider in the oil & gas industry, to enter the country illegally.

The expatriates were originally employees of Tilone Subsea Limited, a marine contracting and subsea inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR) company, with its head office in Port Harcourt.

Tilone Subsea had obtained resident working papers from the Immigration Service for the six Britons who reportedly embarked on Christmas/New Year holidays with a promise to return to work early January, 2016.

Rather than resume to Tilone firm, the six Britons arrived Nigeria and proceeded to work for GMT Energy Resources Limited on-board Maersk Normad vessel at Federal Ocean Terminal (FOT) Onne.
