The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) in Cross River, on Friday, revealed that two illegal immigrants namely Shahid Mahmood a Pakistani national and Nji Haeges-Chi from Cameroon had been arrested. The state Comptroller of NIS, Funke Adeuyi, explained that the illegal immigrants were arrested on Thursday, March 31, at Yala Local Government Area of the state. Adeuyi further stated that after a thorough profiling of the two illegal immigrants, it was discovered that both of them did not have the valid travelling documents to be in Nigeria. She said, “These two illegal immigrants were arrested by men of the NIS at Yala LGA of the state on March 31. After a thorough profiling, our preliminary investigation revealed that both of them do not have the valid travelling documents to be in Nigeria. “Our investigation also revealed that the Pakistani national was smuggled into Nigeria by his Cameroonian accomplice. “As it concerns security, the intention of the Pakistani and his Cameroonian accomplice is threatening and we must further check them accordingly though no incriminating evidences were found on both of them. “We will do a thorough job before sending them back to their countries. We must still subject them to further security investigation to ensure that they are not wanted somewhere. “The NIS in the state would continue to carry out its constitutional duties to ensure that foreigners entering into the state are certified accordingly.”
