Honeypot and JayPaul, Bobbrisky couldn't have escaped presenting his passport to Nigerian immigration because if he is not stamped out by the Nigerian immigration, he can't be stamped in by Benin immigration. Hence, without being stamped in by Benin immigration, he can't travel via Benin Republic airport because he will be seen as an illegal resident without an entry permit by Benin immigration except if he file for Benin Republic refugee status permit which will also take a very long process to get the Benin Republic refugee status. His other option is not to present his passport but to remain hiding only within Benin Republic illegally. Also, unfortunately, for Bobbrisky, his passport was already deactivated by the Nigerian immigration services. Hence, anywhere he presents the passport, he will not be stamped out to prevent any other country to stamp him in and he will be arrested anywhere in Nigeria where he attempts to stamp out because he has been deactivated. There was no way out of these options. People traveling to Benin Republic without their passport being stamped are illegal travelers, and they don't have plans to exit Benin Republic to somewhere else except they return back to 9ja.
