The Nigeria Immigration Service, Niger State chapter, has repatriated 53 illegal immigrants to Niger Republic.

Mrs Tamuno Oyedeji, Comptroller of Immigration Service in the state said the state government provided vehicles for the transportation of the illegal immigrants to the border post at Jibia in
Katsina state.

“We successfully handed them over to the Niger Republic Immigration officers at the border post,’’ she said.

She said the immigrants were repatriated because their presence constitute security threats in the state.

She said that most of the illegal immigrants possess expired documents, while others have no legal documents to back their legitimate stay in the country.

The comptroller said that the command has taken proactive security measures to ensure only immigrants with proper documents are allowed into the country through Babana border with Benin Republic.
