The Nigeria Immigration Service said it arrested two Indians and turned back seven Cameroonians for illegally entering the country without proper documentation.
“During the screening, the culprits were discovered to have entered Nigeria through the land border and had visa-on-arrival application approval which they failed to present to Immigration at the border,” Mr Usman said. The men had found their way to Nigeria illegally through Cotonu, Benin Republic where they spent a month as indicated by the Beninese stamp, dated February 9 on their passports. They allegedly failed to present themselves for immigration checks at the border..
The seven other migrants— Cameroonians—who attempted entering the country by boat along Ikot Obong Creek in Akpabuyo local government of Cross River State were denied entry and turned back to their country.
