The Nigeria Immigration Service, Ogun State Command on Saturday paraded 32 Chadians and one Togolese in its Abeokuta office.
Crime report from the command indicated that the immigrants were nabbed by the officers of the agency in their hideouts in Odeda Local Government Area of the state.
The state controller of immigration, Jibrin Yakubu, said the immigrants neither possess any valid travel documents nor means of livelihood.
While describing them as ‘security threats’ to the country, explained that said they were arrested when officers stormed two of their hideouts in the local government area at 12 a.m. last Wednesday.
Yakubu added that the suspects entered Nigeria illegally and their purpose of coming into the country remained suspicious.
“We started profiling them and we have discovered that out of 33 of them, 32 are Chadian nationals while only one is a Togolese.
“We tried to find out why these people are here but they told us that they were invited by the only Togolese amongst them for a networking business.”
He stated the Togolese could not explain why she brought the Chadians into Nigeria. “That is why we decided to show the whole country and to tell the public to resist any attempt to be lured into any unknown business or to an unknown place.”
Meanwhile, the state immigration boss said the immigrants would be repatriated to their countries this week.
The immigrants were unable to communicate with journalists as they could not speak a word of English language.
