Immigration Repatriates 612 Illegal Migrants From Akwa Ibom
The Akwa Ibom command of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) says it has repatriated 612 irregular African nationals to their countries of origin in the last five months. The state Controller of Immigration Service, Alhaji Abdullahi Garba, said this in an interview in Uyo on Tuesday. Abdullahi explained that the presence of the illegal migrants was a threat to the internal security of the state in particular and Nigeria in general. He said that the affected migrants were mainly nationals from Niger, Cameroun, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Guinea, Gambia and Togo. “They were shown the way out for lack of valid travel documents and substantive means of livelihood,” Abdullahi said.
