Officers of the Ondo
State Command of the Nigeria Immigration Service on Friday paraded 147 persons
from Niger Republic and Chad, who illegally came to the state without valid
travelling documents.
The Comptroller of NIS
in the state, Mr. Adesola Sessi, told journalists in Akure that the illegal
immigrants were picked up by his men at the Sabo and Shasha areas of the state
capital.
He explained that the
people will be repatriated to their countries of origin immediately because
they were constituting a great security risk, especially when it was discovered
that they had no means of livelihood.
He said two of them
attacked and injured some immigration officers while trying to resist arrest on
Thursday.
Sessi said the illegal
immigrants had been living in the state for a very long time and that it took
his men diligent surveillance to fish them out of their hideouts.
