A Nigerian national was on April 5th given 24 hours to
leave the Guyana (a sovereign state on the northern mainland of South
America) after he was reprimanded for illegally entering from Brazil.
Chief
Magistrate Ann McLennan ordered Immanuel Dennis-Derry who lives in Sao
Paulo, Brazil, to leave Guyana after he pleaded guilty to a charge
of illegal entry. The city court heard that on March 27, at
Lethem, Rupununi, Dennis-Derry, a trader, entered Guyana without
presenting himself to an immigration officer.
Police Prosecutor
Neville Jeffers told the court that 24-year-old Dennis-Derry, although a Nigerian
national, acquired citizenship in Brazil, where he is currently living.
On March 27, Dennis-Derry came to Guyana in a vehicle and did not
present himself to the nearest immigration officer, the prosecutor
added.
Jeffers also told the court that Dennis-Derry was arrested in New
Amsterdam, Berbice, where the police checked his passport and noticed
that he hadn’t presented himself to an immigration officer.
Dennis-Derry was subsequently reprimanded and discharged by the Chief
Magistrate, who gave him 24 hours to leave Guyana and go back to Brazil.
