Adamawa NIS Arrests Illegal Migrants was confirmed on Friday by the State Comptroller of Immigration, Sani Jega, who disclosed that the operation was carried out following sustained surveillance and intelligence gathering activities.
According to Jega, the intercepted individuals comprise 77 Cameroonians, 21 Nigeriens, six Burkinabe nationals, and three Chadians, all found residing illegally within Adamawa State.
He further revealed that preliminary investigations indicated that some of the Cameroonian and Chadian nationals may be linked to suspected job scam activities, a development that has heightened concerns over cross-border criminal networks.
The Comptroller described the operation as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen border security and curb irregular migration into Nigeria, describing the exercise as both strategic and necessary.
He urged members of the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious movements or activities involving undocumented migrants to the nearest immigration authorities.

Obodo… Following the conclusion of the investigation and the establishment of the culpability of the officers involved… the officers being paraded today have been dismissed from the Nigeria Police Force and will be charged to court,” Adepoju said.
The commissioner noted that he understood the concerns of Obodo’s family and members of the public, adding that the Command has taken appropriate disciplinary action against the police personnel involved.
Obodo, a graduate of the University of Port Harcourt who was reportedly awaiting his NYSC call-up letter, was shot during a police pursuit.
