The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Ogun State Command, has repatriated 22 illegal Beninoise constituting a nuisance in some local government areas of the state. This was disclosed by the State Comptroller, Grace Adeoye, during a visit to members of the Ogun House of Assembly in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, on Monday.
Adeoye called for collaboration with the state government to complement their efforts, stating that a few more similar situations have also been handled to clear the state of illegal immigrants.
Responding, the Speaker, Oludaisi Elemide, promised that the Assembly would continue to collaborate with the Immigration Service to enhance its operations in the state. He acknowledged the Immigration Service’s contributions to promoting peace and security throughout the state, particularly near the borders.
Elemide commended the Command on the recent reforms introduced in the issuance of Nigerian passports, noting improvements in the process and other services provided by the agency.
Other lawmakers, including Wahab Haruna, Fola Salami, and the Majority Leader, Yusuf Sheriff, praised the Command’s accomplishments and called for more proactive intervention in curbing illegal activities of some aliens around border areas to strengthen security along border communities.
