In a swift security operation, authorities in Ogun State have apprehended a group of illegal immigrants from Cameroon and Chad. The development was announced by Nigerian Stories via its official X handle, sparking widespread reactions across social media.
Although details remain sketchy, security sources suggest the arrests were made as part of intensified efforts to curb illegal migration and potential security threats within the state. Authorities have yet to disclose the exact number of those apprehended or the circumstances surrounding their entry into Nigeria.
This latest crackdown underscores growing concerns over border security and the influx of undocumented foreigners into the country. Ogun State, due to its strategic location and proximity to international borders, has often been a hotspot for illegal crossings.
As investigations continue, the Nigerian Immigration Service and other security agencies are expected to profile the arrested individuals and determine their motives. Officials may also consider deportation measures or further legal action, depending on their findings.
More updates will follow as the situation develops.
