Towards the end of last week, the Malta Police Force’s Immigration Section conducted another successful operation in removing and returning an individual with a criminal past to their country of origin in Nigeria.
In a report issued by The Malta Police Force, it was revealed that the individual was granted consecutive prison sentences with regards to drug importation and lightly injuring a correctional officer.
Upon orders of return, the individual was deported and escorted under arrest from Malta to Nigeria via flight. For this operation, the Police were assisted by Detention Services. Apart from being returned, an order was placed for the individual to never return to Malta.
This operation is the latest in a string of operations being conducted in the past months where the Immigration Office returned individuals who could not stay in Malta back to their country, including those with prison sentences after being found guilty in Court.
The Police Corp thanked the Immigration section whilst also pledging to remain vigilant with those conducted criminal acts in Malta and conducting operations such as this whenever needed.
