The Senate has said that at least three million Nigerians are living illegally in the United Kingdom (UK). It also debunked the alleged deportation of Nigerians by the UK government.
This clarification was made by Senator Monsurat Sunmonu, after a meeting with officials of the Nigeria Immigration Service at the National Assembly. She said that only 48 out of about three million Nigerians who are illegally living in the United Kingdom and were confirmed to have committed crime were deported.
