14,000 Nigerians face deportation from Germany
The German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, has said that at least 14,000 Nigerians living in Germany and seeking asylum risk deportation for lack of identification cards.
According to Scholz, approximately 12,500 Nigerians are in a condition of tolerance in Germany as a result of the Nigerian government’s reluctance to admit people without the necessary identity documents.
The German Chancellor, who made this explanation while speaking during a meeting with President Bola Tinubu in Abuja on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, said “The current spike in Nigerians filing initial asylum claims in 2023 has sparked worries.”
