THE Ogun State command of the Nigeria Immigration Services (NIS) has nabbed 12 suspected illegal immigrants working in the country.

The state comptroller, Dr Greene Anike’Nweze, disclosed this while addressing newsmen at the command headquarters, at the weekend in Abeokuta, saying that the suspects were apprehended at a company in Ogijo area in Sagamu Local Government Area of the state.

He said security agencies in the country could not handle the rate at which people moved into the country illegally, adding that the nationality of the suspects could not be ascertained at present, but they were suspected to be Indians.

The suspects were Girish Mundra; Nija Muddin; Kaluram Jain; Chhote Lal; Binod Kumar and Vtari Krishna.

Others were Madan Kumar Singh; Rajender Parsad; Ashok Kumar Chauhan; Sandeed Singh and Hemras Singh.

“Their faces looked like those from Pakistan, Iran, and Bangladesh. Even if you have a division of soldiers or other security agencies, they cannot control all the borders in Ogun State, let alone the whole of Nigeria,” he said.

He wondered why they should be working in the country without legal documents, adding that most of them might have been hiding after the expiration of their travel documents.

It is amusing to me in part because you have non-Africans immigrating illegally to Nigeria. Though I suppose India is a very poor country too, so maybe shouldn't be surprising.

abia!nabbing them is one thing,deporting them is another.they'll be release once naira exchange hands.these are the same people that raid n arrest illegal immigrants in lagos but release them after collecting 2k-5k from them.
