The Plateau State Command of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has uncovered cases of visa violations involving foreign nationals who remained in the country after the expiration of their temporary work permits.
The Plateau State Comptroller of the NIS, CIS Mary Abang, disclosed this on Thursday during a courtesy visit to Governor Caleb Mutfwang at the New Government House, Little Rayfield, Jos.
Abang said the command had intensified migration enforcement through the profiling, apprehension and repatriation of undocumented foreign nationals, while also expanding intelligence-based surveillance across the state.
She appealed to the state government to assist the command with a permanent headquarters, operational vehicles and motorcycles to enhance patrols, especially in remote communities and mining locations where undocumented migrants are often found.
