*BUSINESS OF ASSISTING PEOPLE TO OBTAIN INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT IS A CRIME.*
Daily Law Tips (Tip 473) by Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LLM. ACIArb(UK)

Unlike “sin” and “morality”, “crime” is only what the laws says is a crime. In Nigeria, the business of working as broker/agent for obtaining of international passport is a criminal offence. Whether the concerned international passport is genuine or not and whether the crime was committed at the office/vicinity of the Nigeria Immigration Service or any other place are all immaterial. The offence is punishable with imprisonment for ten (10) years and or a fine of Two Million Naira(N 2,000,000.00).

My authorities are sections 10(1)(f), 116 and 117 of the Immigration Act, 2015.

*DURATION WITHIN WHICH THE SENATE MUST RESPOND TO PRESIDENT’S REQUEST TO DEPLOY ARMED FORCES ON COMBAT DUTY OUTSIDE NIGERIA.*
Daily Law Tips (Tip 455) by Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LLM. ACIArb(UK)

The Constitution of Nigeria directs the conducts of all arms of government. Generally the President, though the Commander in Chief of Armed Forces of Nigeria, cannot deploy any member of the armed forces of Nigeria on combat duty outside Nigeria except with the approval of the Senate.

However, where the President in consultation with the National Defence Council is satisfied that the national security of Nigeria is under imminent danger or threat, the President can deploy members of the armed forces of Nigeria on a limited combat duty outside Nigeria without approval of the Senate. Within 7 days of actual combat engagement of such deployed troop, the President must seek the consent of the Senate and the Senate is at liberty to consent or refuse to give consent within 14 days. The constitution is silent on a situation where the Senate fails to give its decision within the stipulated 14 days, however, one may assume that the President will veto/override the Senate at such time.

My authorities are sections 5(4),5(5), 318 and 319 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.

My authority is section 7 of the Nigerian Correctional Service Act, 2019.

*CAN A NON-REGISTERED/ACCREDITED AGENT OF CAC REGISTER AN INCORPORATED TRUSTEE.*
Daily Law Tips (Tip 436) by Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LLM. ACIArb(UK)

Corporate Affairs Commence (CAC) is in-charge of registration of business, creation of lawful entities. CAC does not allow non registered and accredited agents to access their services and register incorporated trustees, except where such unaccredited person seeking to register an incorporated trustee is a member of the board of incorporated trustees that he/she seeks to register. There is need for accreditation number of accredited agent seeking to register an incorporated trustee, this makes it hard and often impossible for non-accredited persons and touts to commence and complete the process of registration. Most non-accredited persons end up engaging accredited agent of CAC to continue and complete the entire process. Besides, the processes, constitution and minutes needed for the exercise are often specialised and need the services of a lawyer-Notary Public to certify. The Portal of CAC requires accreditation numbers of its accredited agents. By the way, a non-lawyer and non-accredited agent will not be able to defend any resulting legal action in the process of objections to process during the 28days newspaper notice.
It is a criminal offence for a non-lawyer to prepare documents where such may be used in court.

My authority is section 22 (1)(d) of the Legal Practitioners Act, 1975.
