TIRUVANNAMALAI: Three Nigerians, who had been arrested for indulging in cheating and online fraud in Chennai three years ago, have been ordered to be deported to their native. They are expected to fly off from Chennai on Saturday morning.

Police sources said Oladapo Obasoto Olatunbosun alias Richard (32), Dickson M Dickson (29) and Abiodun Oluwagbemiga Oyekunle alias Jerie (33) have been given air tickets, costing `49,500 each, by the Special Tahsildar (Refugee) on Friday.

They would take the 9.30 am flight from the international airport at Meenambakkam to Dubai and take a transit flight from there to Nigeria. They would reach their country at 6 pm on Saturday.

“The trio will be escorted to airport from the Special Camp at 3 am on Saturday,” Special Tahsildar Jayaprakash Naraynan said.

The State government has processed the deportation of the Nigerians after the Embassy of Federal Republic of Nigeria in Delhi issued emergency certificates for them. “We handed over the air tickets after obtaining the exit permit letter from the Superintendent of Police of Tiruvannamalai J Mutharasi, as per rules,” said the official from the district administration.

The trio had been arrested on charges of online fraud and cheating in the second week of December 2011 by the Chennai police. The police registered a case against them under sections 420, 468 of IPC, 66 C and 66 D of Information Technology Act 2008. The three were subsequently arrested under 3 (2) (e) of Foreigners Act and detained in the Special Camp for Foreigners in Chengalpet that was later shifted to Cheyyar.

The police team seized from them a Hyundai Santro car, two LED TVs, six mobile phones, three cameras, three watches, seven imported perfumes, three laptops, one Ipod and 32 pairs of shoes, which they had purchased through fraudulent online shopping.

Two others - Paul Osagie Cyrill and Okechukwa from the special camp would be deported to their country on September 22. The duo had also involved in cheating cases in Chennai and detained in the camp for the last two years.

TIRUVANNAMALAI: Two Nigerians, lodged in the special camp for foreigners in Cheyyar, have been ordered to be deported on Monday.

The Home Department of the State Government has issued the deportation orders for Okechukwa Udube (35) and Paul Osagie Cyrill (44) after receiving emergency certificates from the Embassy of Federal Republic of Nigeria in Delhi.

District administration officials said, they had completed the procedures to deport the duo on Sunday and they are expected to board the flights from the international airport at Meenambakkam in Chennai.

“We obtained the letter from the SP (J Mutharasi) as per rule for the duo on Friday. After getting the letter, we arranged the air ticket for Cyrill,” special tahsildar (refugees) Jayaprakash Narayanan told Express. He added that the district administration of Tiruppur has obtained the air tickets for Udube and his family, who were staying in Tiruppur. Udube and his family would take the 4.05 am flight to Dubai along with his family from Chennai airport. They would take transit flight from there to Lagos. Udube was arrested on August 10, 2013 by Tiruppur North Police on charges of purchasing and selling Indian Made Foreign Liquor and running a bar without permission. He was sentenced to five months imprisonment but he spent more than a year in the special camp.

Cyrill will take the 10 pm flight on Monday. He was arrested by the CCB on June 6, 2012 on charges of indulging in online fraud but charges were not proved. The police filed a fresh case relating to cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property. Again, the police failed to prove these charges. Later, the police filed a case under the Foreigners Act and lodged him in special camp.
