UK Border Force

Nigerian Imposters (2x7)

Ausstrahlung: Okt 12, 2009

For the first time television cameras go inside the British High Commission in Lagos, Nigeria. It’s a city that has a worldwide reputation for fraud and where travel documents are sold openly on street corners. Here the UKBA visa team are swamped with applications for UK visas, and they rarely have a dull day. Staff at a steakhouse restaurant in London’s West End are grilled by the London enforcement team. A Ukrainian waitress takes them on a wild goose chase searching for her passport. And in Calais the search teams find what’s known as an “axle-hugger” along with a group of Vietnamese perilously wrapped in plastic bin-liners as they try to avoid the officers’ CO2 probes.
