Nigerian on expired visa held, deported
Hyderabad: A Nigerian national residing in the city on an expired student visa has been apprehended and deported. He is suspected of involvement in drug peddling to earn easy money. Acting on a tip-off, the Hyderabad Narcotics Enforcement Wing (H-NEW) apprehended Ali-Enuke Fortunatus Akudinanwa, alias Fortune, 30, a native of Enugu state, Nigeria, on Thursday.
Ali-Enuke arrived in India in 2016 on a student visa and had been working as a DJ in pubs across Hyderabad. During patrols in the Langer House police station limits, he was found moving suspiciously and detained. On questioning, he failed to produce valid travel documents. Although no drugs were seized from him, enquiries with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) confirmed that his visa and passport had long expired and he had failed to return to Nigeria.
“H-NEW, in coordination with the FRRO, has completed the deportation process to prevent him from continuing his illegal stay and possible involvement in drug peddling,” officials said.
H-NEW appealed to parents to monitor their children’s activities and urged the public to report any information related to drug abuse to 8712661601.
