The officials noted that all undocumented foreigners above 18 years without evidence of proper documentation would be arrested after the grace period and promptly deported at the expiration of the grace period.

The agency warned that Nigerians harbouring undocumented foreigners or having them in their employment would be jailed seven years or made to pay a fine of N1m.

The spokesperson for the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Sunday James also explained that migrants not captured on the Migrant E-Registration database by January 12, 2020 would be arrested and prosecuted.
