Operatives of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) in Bayelsa State led by Comptroller Sunday James has said the five- special operation which led to the arrest of 644 illegal migrants in the state was not targeted at a particular tribe or country.

During the operation, 44 Nigeriens, 35 Togolese, 20 Beninese, six Ghanaians and one Malian were affected.

James, who briefed newsmen in his office in Yenagoa, the state capital, declared that the operations followed the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and United Nations protocols and rules of engagement as well as respect for human rights.

The NIS comptroller said the other illegal immigrants had been guaranteed by their home countries of quick documentations, adding that the “data base of the NIS is more robust from the operation.”
