The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Adamawa State Command, has intercepted one hundred and seven irregular migrants residing unlawfully within the state.
Parading the suspected migrants, the Comptroller of Immigration, Adamawa State Command, Sani Sule Jega, disclosed that the interception followed coordinated surveillance and intelligence operations carried out across identified locations in the state.
He noted that the operation was in furtherance of the Comptroller General’s (CG) K.N. Nandap directive to strengthen border security and surveillance operations across all entry and exit corridors.
According to investigations, among the 107 undocumented individuals apprehended, 77 are Cameroonians, three are Chadian nationals, 21 are Nigeriens, and six are Burkinabe nationals identified as females.
Further investigation and profiling revealed that the Cameroonian and Chadian nationals are suspected of involvement in fraudulent activities, specifically job scam operations.
The Nigerien and Burkinabe nationals were also found to be undocumented and residing in Nigeria illegally.
The NIS urged members of the public to remain vigilant and promptly report any suspicious movement, concealment, or activities involving irregular migrants to the nearest immigration formation for swift and appropriate action.
