Deprivation of citizenship

Section 30(1) · 1999 Constitution (2004 edition)

What Constitution says

(1) The President may deprive a person, other than a person who is a citizen of Nigeria by birth or by registration, of his citizenship, if he is satisfied that such a person has, within a period of seven years after becoming naturalised, been sentenced to imprisonment for a term of not less than three years.

This is the 1999 Constitution as published in 2004. Later amendments aren't included yet, so a section may have changed since.
