A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Friday has ordered the remand of hip hop musician, Terry Alexander Ejeh, also known as Terry Apala, for a charge of naira abuse.

Justice Akintayo Aluko ordered his remand in the Ikoyi Correctional Centre, Lagos, till May 5, 2025, when his bail application would be heard and determined.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had arraigned Ejeh before the court on a one-count charge of abuse of the naira by matching on it whilst dancing during a social event at Madison Place, Oniru, Lagos Island.

Counsel to the EFCC, Sulaimon Sulaiman, then asked the court to allow the charge to be read to the defendant so he could take his plea.

The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge, after which Sulaimon asked for a trial date and the remand of the defendant in the custody of the Nigeria Correctional Centre.

Just in: Visa Holders Face $15 Fine, 10-yr Ban For Overstay In Nigeria!!! 🚴🏿‍♀️🚴🏿‍♀️🚴🏿‍♀️💨

The Nigerian government has announced that, beginning from August 2025, foreign nationals who overstay their visas will face a daily fine of $15 and could be banned from re-entering the country for up to 10 years.

This was revealed by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, during a stakeholder engagement session held on Friday at NECA House in Lagos.

The meeting highlighted key immigration reforms being introduced by the Ministry of Interior and the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), including updates to the Expatriate Quota System and the upcoming Nigeria Visa Policy (NVP) 2025.

According to the Minister, although the new penalty system officially takes effect in May 2025, a grace period will be in place until August, allowing visa holders time to adjust to the policy without facing penalties.

He said, “Travellers who overstay for three months will face a five-year ban, while those who overstay for one year or more will be banned for ten years.”

Under the NVP 2025, visa overstayers will be charged $15 for each day they remain in the country beyond the validity of their visa. Those who overstay for three months will be subject to a five-year re-entry ban, while overstays of one year or more will result in a ten-year ban.

Tunji-Ojo emphasised that the policy was designed to promote compliance, enhance national security, and encourage responsible migration practices.

LEADERSHIP reports that enforcement of the new rules will be handled by the Nigeria Immigration Service.
