Sen. Victor Ndoma Egba, CON, SAN Sen. Mohammed S. Saleh Sen. Abubakar A. Bagudu Sen. James Manager Sen. Akin Odunsi Sen.NenadiE.Usman Sen. Simeon Ajibola Sen. Sen. Husain O. Mudashiru Sen. Ita S. Enang Sen. Zainab A. Kure Sen. Sen. Sen.

SENATE, NOTES with great concern the continued unfair treatments and harassment of Nigerians in foreign countries leading to intimidation, arrests, detention, torture, deportation and occasional deaths;

NOTES that these harsh treatments meted out to our country men and women have gone on for too long and should no longer be tolerated;

NOTES that our non-challant attitude as a nation towards the unfair treatment of Nigerians when they find themselves in trouble outside the shores of our country especially in the absence of proper legal representation makes our citizens vulnerable in foreign land;

OBSERVES that it is not in all cases that our citizens are guilty of the offences they are alleged to have committed.

NOTES that a case in point is the recent deportation of 27 Nigerians from Spain, 14 of whom were found not to be culpable for the offences for which they were deported by the Spanish authorities after thorough investigation by the combined team of officers from the Police, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA)the State Security Service (SSS) and the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS);
