The Nigeria Immigration Service says it has arrested 376 illegal immigrants involved in fraudulent activities at different levels, defrauding innocent residents.
NIS comptroller Ogun command, Muhammed Akadri, said the suspects were arrested at their hideouts during a joint raid by officers of the service and Zone A headquarters, in the suburbs of Lambe/Ajuwon Akute Areas of the state, following credible intelligence.
He said their profiling revealed that 334 of them are Cameroonian, 27 Ghanaians, 1 Togolese and 26 Beninoise citizens.
It was also gathered that all the foreigners gained access to the country through unauthorised entry points, and none presented residence cards or any form of travelling documents after interrogation.
