“With the Nigeria Immigration Service as a critical component of the joint border patrol team, we intercepted 30 illegal immigrants suspected to have violated immigration laws and were immediately handed over to the NIS for further investigation and prosecution” Shuaibu disclosed.

He warned smugglers to desist from the crimes adding that they have multiple effects such as, undermining national security through the movements of illicit goods, such as drugs, weapons, and human trafficking across the international borders.
