A suspected illegal immigrant, has been arrested in Owerri by operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Imo State Command. 

The suspected illegal immigrant identified as Sunday Djimekou from Togo, was apprehended on Thursday along Okigwe road in the Owerri metropolis following a a tip-off. Mr Raji Ibrahim, the NSCDC State commandant, who paraded the suspect at the NSCDC headquarters, Owerri, on Saturday, said upon interrogation, Sunday Djimekou confessed to being an an illegal immigrant.

“The eagle-eyed operatives of the corps found out that he is not a Nigerian. It was also found that he is in the country and Imo State precisely without any document or papers of genuine entry into the country, therefore he is an illegal immigrant,” Ibrahim said.

Ibrahim who stated that the agency would not relent in fighting crimes in the state and the country at large, added that Djimekou came into the country in 2000 and Imo State on June 6, 2005.

“We are not going to rest on our oars in ensuring that the mandates for which the agency was established are achieved,” Ibrahim added.

“The arrest of Djimekou would serve as a deterrent to others in the state,” he said.

According to the NSCDC commandant, the suspect would be handed over to the Nigeria Immigration Service for appropriate actions. Djimekou on his own part, said he came into the country in 2000 on the invitation of a Nigerian, whose name he did not give.

“I came into Nigeria with one man in 2000, who invited me to work in his house in Lagos. I am a tiler. So, when I finished the work, another man that I met while in Lagos promised he would establish me in Imo State because of my good work.

“He is a politician and he was the one that brought me to Owerri in 2005, where I have been working since then,” the suspect said.

Punch gathered that he confessed that he did not have any authorized documents to be in the country.

Better late than Never Mr.

All those Lebanese kwani?

There are so many illegal immigrants in Abuja, and they work as tilers and masons.

Illegal or irregular migration is a scourged which should be discouraged and frowned upon.
Click on my signature to know why, I am that guy who walked to Europe and back...The waka man....my knees dey bear the brunt these days sha

U guy are busy arresting Africa country pls tell me u did nt see all ds Indian, Chinese, Lebanese around ds country

Please release that man, after all it wasn't stated he committed a crime except living in Nigeria illegally. Do you know how many Nigerians who are living in Togo without their carte de sejour and nobody harasses them? Trying to prove relevant. Mtcheew!

More than half all these petty Aboki traders are not Nigerians, I doubt if this set of officials can dare arrest talk more of deporting them back to Chad and Niger Republic..

I perceive ndi ntapi anya na ufu-anya

Cone heads

What of the Lebanese barber that is an illegal immigrant?

Everything about Okorocha and his communities is just like comedy...... Come to Lagos and see Togolese house of assemble members....

Why do we have ECOWAS

If he were a Lebanese, Indian or Even Morrocan, would you men of duplicated Paramilitary agency have arrested him NSCDC is mostly a salary paying organisation.

He is an Afonja. Most have decided to emigrate and mine skulls, rape and commit all sorts of crimes.

Seems they are running out of “raw materials” in the West. God dey catch them one by one.


Anuofia!!!

Clearly a case of set up. There are many Togolese and Beninoise in Owerri and every Southern city with high rate of real estate development. They specialise in POP and other forms of housing sculpture.
