Leke Baiyewu and Daud Olatunji The House of Representatives has called for stricter enforcement of the Federal Government’s border closure policy by deporting illegal immigrants, among other measures

.

The resolutions were passed based on the unanimous adoption of a motion moved by Mr Rotimi Agunsoye, titled, ‘The Closure of Nigerian Territorial Borders Not Enough.’ Agunsoye, however, said, “The House is worried about the continued influx of illegal immigrants mostly of African descent into the country, who gained easy access through the various porous land borders. The uncontrolled immigration of unlawful immigrants into the country poses strained socio-economic and political threat to the country.

The committee was asked to “ensure the brokering of agreement between them in order not to jeopardise the provision of aids for the Internally Displaced Persons in the zone.”NIS registers 61,137 undocumented migrants James disclosed that 61,137 undocumented migrants had so far registered with the service, adding that the exercise was still in progress.People around the Seme border are feeling the pinch of the customs’ directive banning supply of fuel to filling stations around the border communities.

“The reason is because the closest filling station is at Badagry, about 40 minutes away and one has to go that far just to fill his tank,” he said.Our correspondent gathered that a fare of N50 now goes for N150. The PUNCH gathered that some petrol marketers whose filling stations were sealed because they fell within the 20 kilometres of border area reportedly partnered some owners of filling stations in Owode, which is 28km away from the Idiroko border .

“The issue there now is that all the security agencies are the people sabotaging the effort of the Federal Government. We understand the position of the Federal Government on this issue, but there is no way they can achieve any success with the activities of those security men.
