The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), Monday repatriated 57 out of the 100 illegal immigrants arrested during last Friday's raid in Ijora-Badia area of Lagos State by the state Police Command and the state Task Force on Environment and Other Offences.While the 57 aliens from the Republic of Niger were repatriated, 18 of the illegal immigrants from Mali who had fled their war-torn country, were transferred to the United Nations Refugee Commission to take action.
Although the raid was part of the stringent security measures put in place by the state command to checkmate the influx of suspected Boko Haram militia into the state, 17 Nigerians of northern extraction were mistakenly arrested and lumped as illegal immigrants.
