Jakarta. An immigration office in Jakarta on Tuesday arrested four Nigerian nationals without proper stay permits at an apartment complex in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta.

Hambali Haryadinata, head of the North Jakarta Immigration Office, said that officers on Tuesday morning had raided the apartment units of the four Nigerians, identified as VC, DC, CF, and FU, after receiving reports over suspicious activities from other residents.

"During the operation, we asked them to present their passports and visas but instead they tried to escape and officers immediately apprehended them," said Hambali at his office.

Officials did not find any drugs during the raid, but confiscated five laptops, five mobile phones, two USB modem sticks, three sim cards, two wallets and a sum of cash.

According to Hambali, the four Nigerians confessed that they had come to Indonesia to do business but declined to provide further details.

"We haven't found any leads for other crimes. For now, they are under suspicion of having violated the immigration law," said Hambali, referring to the 2011 Immigration Law.

The four Nigerians could face three months imprisonment and a total of Rp 25 million ($1,770) in fines, he said.

I just knew efforts to hound this lady out of office would start. The moment she dared to speak out against public fund mismanagement that has led to the current state of indebtedness to civil servants in the state, I knew they were going to start throwing dirty bombs. Why can't our leaders ever own up to wrongdoing and accept criticism? That is how Amosun sacked teachers for honest but apparently offensive (to him) exam questions.

Waiting for Buhari's body language to prosecute Tinubu and Fashola for looting Lagos State dry.

A 42-year-old traveller from Nigeria was arrested at Hong Kong International Airport with 15kg of suspected ivory products stashed inside the pockets of a tailor-made vest.

He arrived in the city from Abuja, Nigeria, via Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, on Monday morning.

"During customs clearance, customs officers found about 15kg of suspected ivory pieces and products concealed in a tailor-made vest inside his hand baggage," the Customs and Excise Department said.

The haul was estimated to be worth HK$150,000 in Hong Kong and the man may face prosecution for importing an endangered species, the department said.


The suspect’s hand baggage was seized alongside about HK50,000 worth of ivory products.

Officers handed the case to the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department for further investigation. The conservation department oversees ivory matters in the city.

It was the third seizure by customs officers at the airport in a month. On August 7, an 18-year-old man arriving from Harare, Zimbabwe, was arrested with 15kg of ivory products.

On July 27, officers caught a 27-year-old man who had arrived from Lagos, Nigeria, and seized HK$150,000 worth of ivory tusks and ivory products. He was convicted of importing an endangered species and fined HK$62,000.

A state-run newspaper reported in April that a syndicate behind ivory smuggling provided a "baby rental" service as a cover to help its smugglers receive less scrutiny while crossing into the mainland from Hong Kong.

The tactic was revealed after a Hong Kong woman was arrested at a checkpoint as she tried to smuggle 24 ivory products into Shenzhen. She was carrying her own baby when arrested.

Only a public probe and investigation of 8 years of your regime will settle this

There will be nothing shady or hidden about it. There will be no access to public funds. It will be purely private and voluntary”, he said.
