NIS | Nigeria became the “first and only African country to have FULLY automated its Stolen and Lost Travel Documents database (SLTD)

According to the Nigeria Immigration Service:

Nigeria this week became the “first and only African country to have FULLY automated its Stolen and Lost Travel Documents database (SLTD)”, by successfully uploading 150,000 SLTD records to the INTERPOL database in Lyon, France.

By this development, Nigerians are advised to desist from using fake, altered, invalidated, withdrawn, stolen and lost travel documents, since the documents are automatically made available to 194 member countries of INTERPOL. In recent times, some Nigerians have been intercepted in some Airports around the world for using Passports which they earlier reported lost or stolen.

The Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration Service therefore warned holders of Nigerian Passports not to use such re-issued Passport anywhere in the world as failure will lead to arrest and prosecution.
