A Chinese and a close business associate of Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, Mr. Lay, was this yestrday afternoon deported by the Immigrations Department at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja.
Lay, who is one of three Chinese nationals always following Fayose in Ekiti, is found to be in Nigeria without any paper while his mission in the country is not known.
The other two Chinese, who are also Fayose’s friends, are under close watch by security agents, a competent security source said.
The Chinese national was taken to the airport in a Hilux van marked IS03EK that took him on a China-bound plane at about 4.00pm.
The mission of these Chinese in Ekiti always in company of Fayose remains unknown as there is no evidence of contracts being executed by them. It is also a puzzle to security and immigration agents on how they entered Nigeria without authorised papers.
Security agents are now faced with a lot of work on how to unravel the misery of their entry into the country.
