Abuja – The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has debunked rumours that its officers in Kogi had arrested about 200 foreigners heading for Ekiti.

Immigration boss, Muhammad Babandede Spokesman of the agency, Mr Sunday James, dismissed the speculation in a statement in Abuja on Thursday.

James said although some travelers were intercepted by men of the Kogi Command of the service on routine assignment, none of them was found to be a foreigner.

“The Comptroller of Immigration, Kogi Command, under whose jurisdiction the travelers were intercepted, confirmed with records that they were all Nigerians.

“No single Nigerien (citizen of neighbouring Republic of Niger) was found among the people apprehended.

“The command profiled them to ascertain their true nationality and contrary to reports making rounds, they are all Nigerian citizens traveling to Lagos for their legitimate businesses,” he said.

Voters in Ekiti will go to the polls on July 14 for the state governorship election that would produce a successor to outgoing Gov. Ayodele Fayose.

PDP and lies are like twins

Fayose should write his hand over notes and report to kuje.

Lies in the morning, lies in the evening and lies while sleeping. that is how PDP want to govern Ekiti State . Nooo way

Debunked a story

Sorry sir, how did you check their records?

-Do Nigerians now use passport to travel within?
-Or is their a means of identity to get voters card?
-Were you issued birth certificate of them?
-If they all had legitimate means of income for proper identification, why are they being conveyed in trucks?
-did they come in through the airports?

I'm not in mood for lies

Let Fayose keep spreading lies there. Him eyes go soon clear

Buhari brother comming from maradi in niger to wreck havoc in ekiti election so as to bring apc to power

Their "legitimate business" of
raping, kidnapping, armed robbery
& mass murder..

Some ogas at the top must have issued
directives to free the aliens or lose
your job.

The guns are already awaiting them.

In the name of "Chanji",
we don use our hands vote bloodthirsty
fanatics into power..

“The Comptroller of Immigration, Kogi Command, under whose jurisdiction the travelers were intercepted, confirmed with records that they were all Nigerians.

If something is not done about fake news ehn

For this to be coming at a very sensitive election period, I choose to differ on the opinion of the subject matter.

There has already been a precedence of importing mercenaries and under age voters as witnessed in the 2015 elections. I won't be surprised if that's what is actually at play here.

When the Nigerian government is swift to deny something, most times there's a lot of truth in it.

Confused bloggers

PDP is a continual process in EKITI

The number of people involved, the timing and the location is enough red flag.

JohnVianney:
We all know what happened here. Bubu's brothers from Niger were intercepted while on journey to ekiti state to inflste voters numbers for APC's candidate.
The Immigration comptroller wasnt informed about their movement on time, so he naïvely arrested them in good faith. Someone then phoned bubu about the latest update and you know the rest..........

just imagine how ur brain is working

I just hope he is right. A country with porous borders up north can be dangerous. Violence or voters can be imported.

why wont dis USELESS bloggers b arrested. this people are bend on using fake news to destroy dis country
