280 illegal immigrants arrested in Adamawa

Parading the suspects in Yola yesterday, the State Comptroller, Ubi Ikpi, reiterated the determination of his command to secure Nigeria’s borders by checking unauthorized infiltration of aliens.
Adamawa shares borders with Cameroon with strong cultural and economic ties between communities on both sides
“It is pertinent we rid Adamawa of miscreants because it is very possible they can compound the security situation in the country since they neither have valid papers nor have identifiable places of abode”, Ikpi said.
He said the arrested foreigners were from neighbouring African countries and the NIS had commenced the process of deporting them.
