The Nigeria Immigration Service, Osun State Command, on Friday paraded in Osogbo 55 illegal migrants arrested at different locations in the state.

The Service said the migrants are nationals of Cameroon and Congo and had entered the state without any documents.

Addressing journalists shortly after parading the migrants, the Osun Comptroller of Immigration, Ibrahim Akinyemi, said the arrest followed intelligence at the disposal of the command.

Akinyemi said, “These people are about 55. They are irregular migrants. They were arrested and brought here for repatriation. They came in through an unauthorised route. So, their stay here has become a serious nuisance.
