Minna – Alhaji Aminu Abdulkarim,
Comptroller of Nigeria
Immigration Service (NIS), in
charge of Niger command on
Saturday said the command had
deported nine Nigeriens. He told journalists in Minna that
the illegal immigrants were
arrested on Sept. 11, in Minna
without valid residence permits. “We arrested nine Nigeriens on
Sept. 11, 2012; right now they are
on their way back to their
country. “They constitute nuisance to
members of the public because
they do not have any source of
livelihood.” Abdulkarim said that the
immigrants claimed to be water
vendors, adding, “they are not;
they only use selling of water as
a cover up.” The Comptroller said that
investigations revealed that they
entered the country through
Zango-Daura in Katsina state. He said that the exercise of
checking illegal immigrants was a
continuous one and called on the
state government to support the
command financially. The command had deported 400
illegal immigrants mainly
Nigeriens, and some Ghanaians
and Beninoise from the state
between January and
September, 2012. (NAN)
