Immigration arrests two Niger nationals with pistols, computers, phone at Katsina border

The operatives of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) at Kongolam border in Katsina State have arrested two Niger nationals with pistols, computers and phones in a swift operation.

The operation occurred in the wake of the visit of the duo of the Comptroller General of the NIS, Muhammad Babandede and his Nigerian Custom Service (NCS) counterpart Col, (rtd) Hammeed Ibrahim Ali.

According to a statement made available to journalists on Saturday by the Spokesman of the NIS, DCI Sunday James, the NIS officers arrested the two Nigeriennes, who had attempted to open fire in defiance and to evade arrest by the immigration officers.

One of the Nigeriennes died after the ensuing shootout while the other is helping with useful information about their activities along the Nigerian border area.

“After due interrogation and profiling, the surviving criminal has been handed over to men of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) for further necessary action and investigation.

“The Comptroller of the Katsina Command of the NIS, Bin Umar and his men have been commended by the CGI, Mohammed Babandede.

“The CGI further asserted that the border drill exercise, Operation Swift Response, is yielding a positive result with arrests of irregular migrants, criminal elements and smugglers whose activities have been checked and security stepped up in the interest of the nation.

“The border communities were therefore advised to desist from conniving and sabotaging government effort the CGI reiterated.

“Meanwhile the nationwide spot assessment by the two Comptrollers General and representative of the National Security Adviser has been very successful.”

Nice move..... Pikin wey say him mama no go sleep, him sef no go sleep.

Wow that's crazy. These guys must be bandits, drug lords, smugglers or something. Why would they escalate the situation by engaging in a shoot out.

Operation Swift Response, is yielding a positive result with arrests of irregular migrants, criminal elements and smugglers 

I'd like numbers of arrest and nationality of irregular migrants arrested and deported. Im guessing most would just be smugglers and drug pushers.

Well the northern approach of the Nigerian border are so porous that one can simply take a walk in the park to cross over to this nation. Another factor is the connivance of the local population with these aliens.

Remember, a delegation from same Niger & Mali entered Nigeria by road via Kano to partake in Mr.President campaign rally last year without any documentation by our security agencies

Come on you know this doesn't make sense. High level politicians in any country have diplomatic passports. Besides if they're part of the offical delegation they wouldn't need to illegally enter the country. Where did you get this information anyway.

People just believe anything. An ECOWAS passport is cheap. There's no logical reason to sneak into country. He's even conflating or makig up details. There's nobody from mali who visited during election if I recall correctly.

Maybe lol

Nigeria has no single border in the North. The Fulani and Hausa from neighbouring countries cross over into the country at will and they are always welcomed by the locals.

There are millions of these foreigners in the north who have fraudulently become Nigerian citizens without following due process.

North is the problem here!

ehn ehn.. pmb @work
