516 illegal immigrants in Kaduna State have been arrested by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) for being in possession of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and national identity cards.
The Kaduna state comptroller, Liman Sani Kila, said the illegal immigrants were from Niger Republic, Chad, Cameroon, Togo and Senegal.
Liman, while parading the illegal immigrants at the command’s headquarters, said those arrested were undergoing profiling and would be deported.
He explained that in last year’s mop up operations, the command retrieved 1,000 PVCs from illegal immigrants arrested within Kaduna Zone.
