The Nigerian Army says it plans to hand over six foreigners who were arrested in the course of its anti-terrorism war to the Nigeria Immigration Service, for deportation.

The foreigners include four Cameroonians and one Jamaican.

Brigadier General Victor Ezugwu, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 7 division of the Nigerian Army, stated this while speaking with journalists in Maiduguri on Sunday.

Mr. Ezugwu said that the foreigners were among suspects arrested at various raids in Boko Haram terrorists camps, but were cleared of affiliation with the group.

He said that the suspects had been found to have entered the country illegally.

“We handed over 348 cleared detainees to the Borno State Government on Saturday

” Some other suspects were not released because they had committed crimes that are civil in nature, as such, will be handed over to relevant security agencies for further action.

“Among this category are six foreigners who illegally entered Nigeria.

“They consist of four Cameroonians, one Chadian and one Jamaican; these foreigners will be handed over to the Nigeria Immigration Service for deportation” , he said.

Botswana To Deport Anti-gay US Pastor Steven Anderson

Botswana is to deport a controversial US pastor a week after he was barred from South Africa because of his critical remarks about homosexuality.

A government statement did not say why Steven Anderson had been declared a “prohibited immigrant”.

He was arrested after doing a radio interview in the capital, Gaborone.

Mr Anderson runs the Faithful Word Baptist Church, which says that homosexuality is an abomination punishable by the death penalty.

After his visa for South Africa was rejected last week, the preacher posted on his Facebook page: “Thank God we still have a wide open door in Botswana.”

Homosexual acts are illegal in Botswana, as in many African countries.
