The Plateau State government said it has arrested and deported about 241 illegal aliens resident in Jos, noting that such was made possible by the joint raid by the men of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) and the Special Task Force (STF) on communities harbouring the suspects.

Commissioner for Information and Communication, Pastor Yiljab Abraham, who stated this Saturday while addressing newsmen in Jos, said the aliens have no business in the state when they have no required papers to be in the country.

He said investigations revealed that their presence has caused undue interference in the economy of their host communities, and the state is conscious of its citizens because “we still get reports that there are people that are desperately looking for ways to hit on Plateau, and we are watching and working round the clock to get them out.”

While advising the people of the state to be watchful and report suspicious persons to security operatives, Yiljap said some of these illegal aliens could constitute a threat to the current peace in the state.

He also noted that the NIS under the new helmsman has beefed up adequate security at the various borders with electronic surveillance to ensure that those deported do not return in desperation.

On the recent killings at Bisichi near Foron, Yiljab said it was a robbery attack and had nothing to do with communal or any other form of crisis, adding that six persons linked to that robbery incident have been arrested, and the police are still trailing the others. He also stressed that the attack had nothing to do with the Special National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja, as being insinuated in some quarters.

Yiljap said the Jang administration was bent on ensuring that Plateau is kept safe from every form of criminality.

On the leadership crisis in Taraba State, the Commissioner said much as Governor Jonah Jang and the entire state are happy that Governor Danbaba Suntai survived the ghastly plane crash, “the Governor has no hands in the political tussle in Taraba, and has not committed any finance of Plateau State to that course”, adding that “Governor Jang has a plateful of Plateau responsibilities in his hand and would not use Plateau resources to finance the course of another state, and Shehu Sani is too far from Plateau to know what is happening here: I don’t want to join issues with him.”

On illicit drugs of goskolo sold in the state, Yiljap handed a stern warning to the merchants to stop it or face the wrath of the law. He also urged the youths to desist from the drugs and be useful to themselves.

buffenuff: I am an American citizen leaving in Lagos illegally. Deport me voluntarily pls

berem: Aliens? They must have fallen from the sky.

buffenuff: I am an American citizen leaving in Lagos illegally. Deport me voluntarily pls

Billyonaire: "leaving" ? or "living" ? Na wa for this American.

alnaijiri: As a Muslim, I'm almost certain that these "illegal" immigrants are Muslims. This is just a ploy by the anti-Islamic government of Nigeria to limit the number of Muslims in this country, while they turn a blind eye to the millions of non-Muslim illegal immigrants in the South. I live in Lagos and see hordes of foreigners from neighbouring Benin, Togo, Ghana, Cameroon, and other African countries, and most of them are Xtian, and that's why the government aren't doing anything to deport them. The only illegal aliens they deport are the Muslim Chadians, Malians, and Nigeriens.

Who can deny that Muslims are being systematically persecuted in this republic? May God grant us liberation and victory over those who are keeping us down.
