Operatives of the Nigeria Immigration Service have arrested 40 illegal immigrants at different locations in the Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State.

A breakdown of the migrants shows that 27 are Cameroonians, two are Ghanaians, 10 are Beninese, and one is a Togolese.

Of the 40 arrested, eight are female and 32 are male, all between the ages of 18 and 35.

A statement on Tuesday by the Oyo State Comptroller, Tayo Dada, revealed that 10 of them are farmers, while 30 claim to be involved in online marketing.

Dada added that none of the foreigners possessed residence cards or travel documents.

The statement read, “Following credible intelligence, 40 illegal migrants were arrested at their hideouts in different locations within the Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State.

“Their profiling revealed that 27 are Cameroonians, two are Ghanaians, 10 are Beninese, and one is a Togolese. Of the 40 arrested, eight are female and 32 are male, all between the ages of 18 and 35. While 10 of them are farmers, 30 others claim to be involved in online marketing.

“All 40 foreigners entered the country through unauthorised routes, and none could present residence cards or any travel documents during interrogation.

“The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Kemi Nandap, has ordered that necessary actions be taken to repatriate the foreigners to their countries of origin.”

In January, the Minister of Interior,Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, disclosed that the Federal Government deported 828 illegal immigrants in 2024 as part of its intensified efforts to combat irregular migration and enhance national security.
